"Ever since the publication of Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum at the beginning of
the thirteenth century, scholars and laymen have grappled with the complex and marvellous
chronicle. As much specialized scholarship has been published in Danish, this companion
breaks new ground by giving a comprehensive and up-to-date tour of the work for a
global audience. Attention is given to the unity of Saxo's massive chronicle, whether
he is dealing with a legendary pagan past or events from his own time. Saxo's world
and views are explored in ways that shed new light on all of northern Europe. Contributors
are Bjørn Bandlien, Karsten Friis-Jensen, Michael H. Gelting, Thomas K. Heebøll-Holm,
Lars Hermanson, Lars Kjær, Torben Kjersgaard Nielsen, Annette Lassen, Anders Leegaard
Knudsen, Lars Boje Mortensen, Mia Münster-Swendsen, Erik Niblaeus, Roland Scheel,
Karen Skovgaard-Petersen, Kurt Villads Jensen, and Helle Vogt"
