Abstract:
The self and how it relates to its surrounding world and history is a main concern of the humanities and social sciences. This book addresses the issue by discussing various modes of studying and defining the self, based on a wide span of sources from medieval Western Scandinavia, c. 800-1500, such as archeological evidence, art and architecture, documents, literature, and runic inscriptions.
