Women and Goddesses in Old Norse Mythology and Folklore
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 348, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:4 b/w, 32 col., 1 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503614663.
Summary While the pagan deities of the Old Norse world have long fascinated scholars, it has mainly been the male gods who have captured public attention, and scholars have followed this trend, interpreting late Iron Age Scandinavian society from a male perspective. This volume aims to adjust the balance by bringing together leading scholars working on the Old Norse world and its mythology. The chapters gathered here cover a range of academic fields, from literature and history of religion to folklore, onomastics, and archaeology, with the aim of reassessing the roles played by both women and goddesses in Iron Age Scandinavia.
