Product Description
Taking into account the advances in the application of archaeological, numismatic, literary and onomastic (name studies) evidence, this volume seeks to assess the figure of Cnut as ruler, not only of England, but also of Denmark and Norway. The contributers take an international and interdisciplinary approach with necessary regard to the notion that "national" histories must be placed in their European context. How did Cnut's experience and obligations as king of one country influence his actions as king of others? Were his policies consistent or purely pragmatic? What were the social effects of his rule? The studies in this collection seek to illuminate the various influences which operated on Cnut as king and also explain some of the events of his life.

Amazing! October 12, 2005
Z.A. (USA)
This is a book that I have long wanted. I found it on Amazon.com (used) for a very reasonable price. This book is only for people who are VERY interested. It is not light fare, nor is it meant to be. Essentially, it is a collection of essays on various, discrete topics tied to King Cnut: Cnut's earls, Cnut's coinage, Cnut's Scandinavian empire, etc. If you are a historian, history student, or simply very interested in Pre-Conquest Anglo-Danish affairs, this book will satisfy!
