OverviewThis book discusses Adam of Bremen's perceptions and interpretation of the Christianization of Scandinavia in the Early Middle Ages. The views the chronicler presents in the Gesta Hammaburgensis constitute the central element of this analysis. By departing from the historiography—both the older view of the Gesta as trustworthy, and the recent view of the work as unreliable and biased—this book focuses instead on the Christianization of Scandinavia as an authorial concept. What follows is a reevaluation of the Gesta’s significance both to its medieval audience and the modern historian. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lukas G.

Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Before Christianization Chapter 2: The Beginning of Christianization Chapter 3: Ongoing Christianization Chapter 4: Christianization, Ethics, and Identities Conclusion Bibliography IndexReviewsSein knapper Band möchte die Wahrnehmung und Deutung der Christianisierung Skandinaviens innerhalb der wichtigen Chronik Adams von Bremen herausarbeiten. Der Verfasser grenzt sich also dezidiert von einer positivistischen Geschichtsforschung in der Tradition Leopold von Rankes ab, fragt nicht nach realem Geschehen, sondern wendet sich im Sinne von Hans-Werner Goetz einer „Vorstellungsgeschichte“ zu, die Ideen und Konzepte besser verstehen möchte, unter deren Einfluss eine Quelle entsteht. -- Boris Gübele * Historische Zeitschrift 318 (2024): 187-89 * Author InformationLukas G.
