Description:
"The Vikings conquer all in their path and nothing resists them." So wrote a Frankish chronicler about the northern pirates whose collective name has come to represent the European ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries. This Viking studies program in Scandinavia explores the rich archaeological, cultural, and literary heritage of northern Europe in the early Middle Ages. Itself founded during the Viking Age, the lovely Danish city of Arhus and its modern university are our principal hosts. From this charming seaside location, we visit important sites and collections in Denmark and Germany before relocating to Sweden for the final weeks. Specialists in many different aspects of Viking culture will lecture and guide classes. The Viking studies program appeals to students who * are interested in heroic literature, medieval history, and archaeology. * are eager to explore the relationship between history and national myths. * want to experience Scandinavian cultural life.
