- Title
Diaspora and identity in the Viking Age.
- Authors
ABRAMS, LESLEY
- Abstract
This article investigates the implications of the recent application of the term 'diaspora' to the overseas settlements of the Viking Age and offers a speculative assessment, based on literary, historical, archaeological, sculptural and onomastic evidence, of how the concept might contribute to our understanding of the cultural dynamics of the period. This exploratory look at connectivity in the 'viking world' considers the respective roles of the Scandinavian homelands and overseas settlements in the interplay of cultural forces from the ninth to the eleventh century.
