Description

Norse researchers have been studying the berserkir for centuries without coming to a consensus about this phenomenon. Samson uses a comparative examination of literary and archeological sources to present the historical context surrounding the animal-warriors and the popular beliefs associated with them. The study shows the evolution of the image of the berserker.
