Description

Combining perspectives from archeology, art history, philology, religious scholarship, and zoology, Vierck develops new, pathbreaking insights about an enigmatic figure in German heroic saga: Wayland the Smith. Wayland is a figure that dates back to the seventh century found in mostly fragmented relics, celebrated by Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians as a tragic hero of a violent fable of revenge and escape.
