Description
"This is the first book-length treatment of the Victorians' fascination with the old north. Walter Scott, William Morris, Edward Elgar and Rudyard Kipling appear alongside amateur enthusiasts from Lerwick to the Isle of Wight; the material examined, published and unpublished, includes novels, poems, lectures, periodicals, saga-stead travelogues, philology, art and music. Andrew Wawn draws this wide range of source material together to give a comprehensive account of the construction and translation of the viking age in nineteenth-century Britain."--Jacket.
