About this listen

Professor Michael D.C. Drout of Wheaton College immerses listeners in the extraordinary legacy of Viking civilization, which developed in what is now Scandinavia during the early Middle Ages. During the course of these lectures, Professor Drout explores how these peoples conquered all of Northern Europe, traveled as far as Byzantium in the East and North America in the West, and left a literary legacy that includes numerous works studied and enjoyed to this day.

I've listened to Drout's lectures on Fantasy Literature, Tolkien and the West, the Anglo-Saxons, and now this series on Vikings, and I always have a good time and learn a bunch. I'll probably listen to this multiple times, like I have with the other lecture series. If this is a subject you are interested in, this is a good pick-up!

Always enjoyable to learn from Professor Drout
