Youth and Age in the Medieval North
Book (italiano):
Some contributors draw from literature and some from archaeology; still others--in area studies or medieval studies--draw on both to explore what it meant to be young and old in northern Europe during the Middle Ages. Among their topics are child burial in Anglo-Saxon England, male maturation in Norse literature, grandmothers and familiar identity in Iceland during the 12th and 13th centuries, myth and reality of the patriarch, and Viking poet Egill Skalla-Grímsson as a child and an old man. Quotations are translated in footnotes. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
