London: Penguin. 1995. 144 p.
ISBN: 0-14-0-51328-0.
Resumen: Viking marauders in their longships burst through the defences of 9th-century Europe, striking terror into the hearts of monks, peasants and rulers alike for two centuries. But the Vikings were more than just marine terrorists, and this atlas show their development as traders and craftsmen, explorers, settlers and mercenaries. It follows the tracks of the Viking merchants who travelled deep into Russia, of Viking mercenaries who served in the emperor's bodyguard at Constantinople, and Viking mariners who sailed beyond the edge of the known world to North America.

Jones, Gwyn.
History of the Vikings, A. (.)
Londres: Penguin Books. 1994. 504 p.
ISBN: 0-19-285139-X.
Resumen: The subject of this book is the Vikings realms, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, their civilization and culture, and their many-sided achievements at home and abroad. A highly readable narrative follows the development of these Northern peoples from their origins and legendary pre-history to the military triumphs of Canute and the defeat of Harald Hardradi at Stamford Bridge in 1066, which symbolically ended the Viking age. The book recounts the Vikings exploits in war, trade, and colonization: the assault on Western Christendom; the trading and military ventures to the Slav and Muslim worlds and to Byzantium; and the western voyages of discovery and settlement to Greenland, Iceland and America. Numerous photographs, maps, and drawings contribute to Gwyn Jones´s rounded portrait of Viking civilization and vividly evoke the importance in their culture of religion, art, and seafaring

Vikings, The. (.)
Londres: Penguin Books. 1998. 324 p.
ISBN: 0-14-025282-7.
Resumen: Far from being just wild, barbaric, axe-wielding pirates, the Vikings created complex social institutions, oversaw the coming of Christianity to Scandinavia and made a major impact on European history through trade, travel and farflung colonization. This encyclopaedic study brings together wide-ranging research on Viking art, burial customs, class divisions, jewellery, kingship, poetry and family life and, in this revision edition, has been updated to include recent discoveries. The result is a rich and compelling picture of an extraordinary civilization.

Rossel, Sven H..
History of Scandinavian Literature, A 1870-1980. (Skandinavische Literatur 1870-1970 (updated translation).)
Minneaopolis: University of Minesota Press. 1982. 492 p.
ISBN: 0-8166-0906-3.
Resumen: The decade of the 1870s marked a breakthrough in the literature of Denmark, and Norway and, in the next decade, of Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. Until that time, these countries had to a large extent received literary and cultural impulses from abroad, but with the development of new realistic and naturalistic literary modes in the 1870s, they became a creative cultural area, one of the centers of world literature. Sven Rossel begins his literary history at this turning point. Instead of providing a complete survey, with its risks of superficiality, he focuses on a number of outstanding writers who are considered representaive of literary periods, stylistic trends, or social groups. This book is for all readers interested in the literary and cultural life of the Nordic countries or in comparative literature.

Sjåvik, Jan.
Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Literature and Theater.
Maryland (USA): Scarecrow Press. 2006. 368 p.
ISBN: 0-8108-5563-1.
Resumen: The literature of Scandinavia is amazingly rich and varied, consisting of the works produced by the countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, and stretching from the ancient Norse Sagas to the present day. While much of it is unknown outside of the region, some has gained worldwide popularity, including the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, the stories of Isak Dinesen, and the plays of Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg. While obviously including the area's most famous works, the Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Literature and Theater also provides information on lesser known authors and currents trends, literary circles and journals, and historical background. This is accomplished through a list of acronyms, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries, which together make this reference the most comprehensive and up to date work of its kind related to Scandinavian literature and theater available anywhere.

Weinstein, Arnold.
Northern Arts. The breakthrough of Scandinavian Literature and Art, from Ibsen to Bergman.
Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press. 2008. 524 p.
ISBN: 978-0-691-12544-2.
Resumen: Northern Arts is a magnificent and provocative exploration of Scandinavian literature and art. With intellectual power and deep emotional insights, writer and critic Arnold Weinstein guides us through the most startling works created by the writers and artists of Scandinavia over the past two centuries. Here readers will gain new perspectives on canonical giants such as Søren Kierkegaard, Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, Edvard Munch, Knut Hamsun, and Ingmar Bergman. Readers will also encounter popular favorites like children's writer Astrid Lindgren, and come to know the work of lesser-known masters such as the novelist Tarjei Vesaas and the painters Ernst Josephson and Lena Cronqvist. Weinstein uses the concept of breakthrough--boundary smashing, restlessness, and the exploding of traditional forms and values--as a thematic lens through which to expose the roiling energies and violence that course through Scandinavian literature and art. Defying preconceptions of Scandinavian culture as depressive or brooding, Weinstein invites us to imagine anew this transformative and innovative tradition of art that continually challenges ideas about the sacred and the profane, family and marriage, children, patriarchy, and personal identity. Through these works he brings us face-to-face with our most hidden selves and urges, enriching our understanding of the emotions and forces that govern our lives. Northern Arts is the essential introduction to Scandinavian literature and art, one that illuminates the fierce beauty and breathtaking reach of these incomparable works.
