Historical Atlas of the vikings. (.)
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

Roesdahl, Else.
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.
