Viking art / by Graham-Campbell, James,author.(CARDINAL)148303;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-197) and index.Introduction: What is Viking art? -- The world of the Vikings and the origins of Viking art -- The Oseberg and Borre styles -- The Jellinge and Mammen styles -- The Ringerike and Urnes styles -- Content: Pagan to Christian.This book distils a lifetime's study of Viking art. Written by a leading authority, it introduces all the intricate and beautiful art styles of the Viking age. It ranges in time from the first major Viking expeditions overseas around AD 800 to the general establishment of Christianity in Scandinavia some 300 years later. The opening chapter introduces the geographical and historical background to Viking culture; thematic chapters then describe and illustrate the six main Viking art styles, showing how they emerged from and interacted with one another. Delicate metalwork, elaborate wood-carvings and the famous Gotland picture-stones are all discussed. Viking art ranges in scale from ship burials to decorated weapons and finely crafted jewelry; all feature here, alongside Viking architecture and archaeological traces left by Vikings across continental Europe and beyond. The final chapter examines Viking art in relation to pagan mythology, the conversion to Christianity, and the Viking legacy for later artistic movements. First published in 2013 and now revised and updated throughout, this volume is a modern classic that serves as a definitive guide for all those interested in the vibrant artistic culture of this fascinating period in European history.

A history of pagan Europe / by Jones, Prudence.(CARDINAL)782490; Pennick, Nigel.(CARDINAL)709666;
Bibliography: (pages 221-242).The Greeks and the Eastern Mediterranean -- Rome and the Western Mediterranean -- Rome and the Western Mediterranean -- The Roman Empire -- The Celtic world -- The later Celts -- The Germanic peoples -- Late Germanic religion -- The Baltic lands -- Russia and the Balkans -- Paganism reaffirmed.In this definitive study, Prudence Jones and Nigel Pennick draw together the fragmented sources of Europe's native religions and establish the coherence and continuity of the Pagan world vision. Challenging a traditional, Christian perspective of history, the authors argue that the modern world owes to ancient Paganism its pluralistic tolerance, its love of the arts and its respect for empirical method. Exploring Paganism as it developed from the ancient world, through the Celtic and Germanic periods, the authors finally appraise modern Paganism and its apparent causes. Feminist spirituality, the heritage movement, nature-worship and 'deep' ecology are some of the modern preoccupations which benefit from being examined within the wider context of European Paganism.
