This title includes a selection of papers from the 13th Viking Congress focusing on the northern, central, and eastern regions of Anglo-Saxon England colonised by invading Danish armies in the late 9th century, known as the Danelaw. This volume contributes to many of the unresolved scholarly debates surrounding the concept, and extent of the Danelaw.

Richards); Pagan Scandanavian burial in the central and southern Danelaw (James Graham-Campbell); Aspects of Anglo-Scandinavian minting south of the Humber (Mark Blackburn); Anglo-Scandinavian urban development in the East Midlands (Richard Hall); Lincoln in the Viking Age (Alan Vince); and, New light on the Viking presence in Lincolnshire - the artefactual evidence (Kevin Leahy and Caroline Paterson).
Contents of this title also include: The strange beast that is the English Urnes Style (Olwen Owen); Five town funerals: decoding diversity in Danelaw stone sculpture (David Stocker and Paul Everson); The Southwell lintel, its style and significance (Philip Dixon, Olwyn Owen and David Stocker); The search for Anglo-Scandinavian rural settlement in the Northern Danelaw (Julian D. Richards); In the steps of the Vikings (Gillian Fellows-Jensen); Scandinavian elements in English place-names: some semantic problems (Tania Styles); How long did the Scandinavian language survive in England? (David N. Parsons); Skaldic Verse in Scandinavian England (Judith Jesch); Eddic poetry in Anglo-Scandinavian northern England (John McKinnell); Representation of the Danelaw in Middle English Literature (Thorlac Turville-Petre); and, Hereward, the Danelaw and the Victorians (Andrew Wawn).
