Wieland der Schmied – und Schamane?: Ein Schmiedeheld und Halbgott im Spiegel skandinavischer und angelsächsischer Bilddenkmäler

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.
