Download or read book In Austrvegr The Role of the Eastern Baltic in Viking Age Communication across the Baltic Sea written by Marika Mägi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Early Slavic Studies Association 2018 Book Prize Marika Mägi’s book considers the cultural, mercantile and political interaction of the Viking Age (9th-11th century), focusing on the eastern coasts of the Baltic Sea. The majority of research on Viking activity in the East has so far concentrated on the modern-day lands of Russia, while the archaeology and Viking Age history of today’s small nation states along the eastern coasts of the Baltic Sea is little known to a global audience. This study looks at the area from a trans-regional perspective, combining archaeological evidence with written sources, and offering reflections on the many different factors of climate, topography, logistics, technology, politics and trade that shaped travel in this period. The work offers a nuanced vision of Eastern Viking expansion, in which the Eastern Baltic frequently acted as buffer zone between eastern and western powers. Winner of the Early Slavic Studies Association 2018 Book Prize for most outstanding recent scholarly monograph on pre-modern Slavdom. The work was described by the prize committee in the following terms: "The scope of this book is far broader than the title might suggest. It amounts to a substantial rethinking of the history of the eastern Baltic from the tenth to the thirteenth century, based on both archaelogical and written evidence. The author is by training an archaeologist, and she mounts a powerful criticism of historians who prioritise the written sources and then pick and choose from the archaeological evidence to suit their theories. This book foregrounds the archaeology, which is used to question and consider the written evidence. The author is also highly and rightly critical of the archaeological scholarship, for projecting back into the past the narrow concerns of the numerous nation states that now exist across the eastern and northern Baltic, or the Great Russian nationalist-materialist-imperialist interpretations of the Soviet period. The result is a detailed and fascinating account of the interactions of the worlds of Scandinavia and Rusʹ with the various peoples of the Baltic region, both Finno-Ugric and Baltic. The resulting picture of commercial, political, and cultural interaction across several cultures, and based on reading in a wide range of languages, is a tour-de-force."

Book excerpt: In the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period, Northern Europe was a crucible of political, maritime and economic activity.

Download or read book The Nordic Way written by Edward L. Killham and published by Howells House. This book was released on 1993 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis of the delicate Nordic Balance and the role it has played in recent history is an excellent introduction to the study of Soviet policy in Scandinavia. It focuses on the history of mutual entanglement among the Slavs, Germans, and Nordic peoples in peace as well as in war. The "Nordic Balance" meant that the NATO membership of Norway, Denmark, and Iceland was balanced by Finland's security relationship with Russia, while Sweden's armed neutrality acted as a buffer between the Eastern and Western spheres of influence. The concept embodied a tacit recognition by all parties that this balance was stable and that any attempt to tilt it would meet a corresponding reaction from the other side.

Download or read book Scandinavia and the Balkans written by Lena Holmquist and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together articles based on papers given at the “Scandinavia and the Balkans: Cultural Interactions with Byzantium and Eastern Europe in the First Millennium” conference, held on 25 and 26 September 2012 at the New Bulgarian University, Sofia. The conference was designed to pave the way for studies on the connections between the Balkans and Scandinavia to develop within a broader context, to promote the successes of the researchers who have dedicated their efforts to this scholarly field, and to articulate the importance of this topic to scholarly investigations, education and society. The topic of this book is one that has rarely been discussed in academic studies, while it is almost unknown in social and cultural contexts. While it may seem to deal with a rather narrow historical frame, remote from today’s reality – the relationship between two distant geographical and cultural areas in the past – in fact, the focus, or rather multiple foci on this topic offered here explore a number of aspects of the transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages in the Balkans and Scandinavia.
