Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Norseman's Views of Britain and the British You will, on comparison, observe that, in the language of these Letters as they now appear before you, many alterations have been effected. When I fixed my resolution to publish them in this country, it became an urgent necessity to submit them to the revision of a native pen. No man can ever judiciously pretend to write, even respectably, any but his mother tongue. I have no wish to appear before the world other than I am; and I take this opportunity of acknowledging my gratitude to the gentleman who bestowed such pains and care upon my manuscript My task of wrestling with a foreign language was, perhaps, equally difficult with his of mastering foreign views. Our conjoint labours are before you. Overlook their imperfections, and remember only, if they have any, their merits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Northmen in Britain Two great streams of Northern immigration met on the shores of Britain during the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries. The Norsemen from the deep fiords of Western Norway, fishing and raiding along the coasts, pushed out their adventurous boats into the Atlantic, and in the dawn of Northern history we find them already settled in the Orkney and Shetland Isles, whence they raided and settled southward to Caithness, Fife, and Northumbria on the east, and to the Hebrides, Galloway, and Man on the western coast. Fresh impetus was given to this outward movement by the changes of policy introduced by Harald Fairhair, first king of Norway (872-983). Through him a nobler type of emigrant succeeded the casual wanderer, and great lords and kings' sons came over to consolidate the settlements begun by humbler agencies. Iceland was at the same time peopled by a similar stock. The Dane, contemporaneously with the Norseman, came by a different route. Though he seems to have been the first to invade Northumbria (if Ragnar and his sons were really Danes), his movement was chiefly round the southern shores of England, passing over by way of the Danish and Nether land coast up the English Channel, and round to 'the west.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hardy Norseman "You say your things are all ready, Cecil? Then I'll just go below and do up my Gladstone, and put it in your cabin. We shall be at Bergen before long, they say." The speaker was a young Englishman of three or four-and-twenty, and the sister addressed by him was still in the first flush of girlhood, having but a few days before celebrated her nineteenth birthday. "Let me see to your bag, Roy," she exclaimed. "It is a shame that you should miss this lovely bit of the fjord, and I shall do it in half the time." "The conceit of women!" he exclaimed with a smile, in which brotherly love and the spirit of teasing were about equally blended. "No, no, Cis, I'm not going to let you spoil me. I shall be up again in ten minutes. Have you not made any friends here? Is there no one on deck you can talk to?" "I don't want to talk," said Cecil. "Truth to tell, I am longing to get away from all these English people. Very unsociable of me, isn't it?" Roy Boniface turned away with a smile, understanding her feeling well enough, and Cecil, with her back to the chaterring tourist throng, let her eyes roam over the shining waters of the fjord to the craggy mountains on the further shore, whose ever varying forms had been delighting her since the early morning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 922 AD, an Arab envoy from Baghdad named Ibn Fadlan encountered a party of Viking traders on the upper reaches of the Volga River. In his subsequent report on his mission he gave a meticulous and astonishingly objective description of Viking customs, dress, table manners, religion and sexual practices, as well as the only eyewitness account ever written of a Viking ship cremation. Between the ninth and fourteenth centuries, Arab travellers such as Ibn Fadlan journeyed widely and frequently into the far north, crossing territories that now include Russia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Their fascinating accounts describe how the numerous tribes and peoples they encountered traded furs, paid tribute and waged wars. This accessible new translation offers an illuminating insight into the world of the Arab geographers, and the medieval lands of the far north.
