From Iceland to the Americas: Vinland and Historical Imagination

This volume looks at how Leif Eiriksson's visit to Vinland around the year 1000 has been reimagined in the modern era, taking on a range of media from scholarly works on history and mythology to novels, films and comic books. More broadly, it asks why medieval contact has become a modern cultural touchstone.
