"This series covers the geographical area occupied by modern Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, and the Scandinavian 'crown lands' (Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland) and Sweden's Baltic provinces and the Danish duchies of Slesvig and Holstein as they featured in Scandinavian history."@en
"Vol. 1 presents a comprehensive exposition of both the prehistory and medieval history of the whole of Scandinavia. The first part of the volume surveys the prehistoric and historic Scandinavian landscape and its natural resources, and tells how man took possession of this landscape, adapting culturally to changing natural conditions and developing various types of community throughout the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. The rest deals with the history of Scandinavia from the Viking Age to the end of the Scandinavian Middle Ages (c. 1520). The external Viking expansion opened Scandinavia to European influence to a hitherto unknown degree. A Christian church organisation was established, the first towns came into being, and the unification of the three medieval kingdoms of Scandinavia began, coinciding with the formation of the unique Icelandic 'Free State'."@en
