What is The Viking-age rune-stones : custom and commemoration in early medieval Scandinavia about?

'This book marks a big step forward in the study of commemorative runic inscriptions and late Viking-Age history. By assembling and analysing so much information from tenth- and eleventh-century rune stones the author has provided scholars with a wealth of readily accessible data for future research. By raising so many interesting questions she will also, as she hoped, have stimulated fellow workers to delve into that data.' -Saga-Book'Extremely detailed analysis... The Viking-Age Rune-Stones has many strengths. The result of years of painstaking work, it demonstrates an intimate knowledge of the late Viking-Age rune stone corpus and its background... The Viking-Age Rune-Stones has brought a wealth of important data to the attention of the scholarly community.' -Saga-Book'The secions on the patterns of social order and inheritance will make this book an indispensable example of runology applied to social history, a line of study with a future. It is worth buying for the careful tabulation of inscriptions and motifs alone.' -English Historical Review'This is a stimulating book, challenging accepted interpretations and suggesting new sources for Viking Age social history.' -R.I.
