Description

This is the first book to show how the Norse myths have resonated from era to era: from Viking-age stories of ice and fire to the epic poetry of Beowulf; and from Wagner's Ring to Marvel Comics' Mighty Thor. Heather O'Donoghue considers the wider contexts of Norse mythology, including its origins, medieval expression and reception in post-medieval societies right up to the present. From Asgard to Valhalla is a book that will intrigue and delight anyone with an interest in how the Norse myths have so profoundly shaped the western cultural heritage.

  • How to stay up-to-date with fashion using your iPhone

    You've seen the iPhone commercials... who hasn't? The thing that kind of makes me mad is that they don't really show how you can use the iPhone from a woman's point of view.
