Om avsnittet
In this episode, you can listen to a conversation between Stefka Eriksen, Research Professor at the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research, and Karin Kukkonen about the emotional world of Vikings, Old Norse manuscripts, and international book culture in the 1200–1300s, and how an environmental crisis – the little ice age – may have impacted the (re)production of the sagas.
