520 _aThis book addresses the varied performances of magic in medieval and early modern Scandinavia. It provides a comprehensive review of the rapidly expanding field of European magic and specifically discusses performances of magic in the pre-modern north. By employing innovating methodologies and covering a wide temporal range, the book offers a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to the study of magic in the pre-modern North. In addition, the minority-driven contributions, written by an international group of dynamic and diverse scholars, complement one another to highlight the many multicultural realities of the pre-modern North. Jennifer Hemphill is a PhD Candidate at the Centre for Scandinavian Studies, University of Aberdeen, UK. Ségdae Richardson-Read holds an MLitt in Vikings Studies from the University of Highlands and Islands and they are currently a PhD candidate at the Institute for Irish Studies, University of Liverpool, UK. Solveig Marie Wang holds a PhD in Scandinavian Studies from the University of Aberdeen, UK and she is currently working with an interdisciplinary postdoctorate project at the Universität Greifswald, Germany.
