Recenzii
It offers a fresh and productive method for examining fragmentary data for Anglo-Saxon (and, by implication, other pre-Christian) religion. It is a welcome contribution and should find a place in university libraries and on the shelves of early medievalists in general.
Descriere
This book considers evidence for Germanic goddesses in England and on the Continent, and argues on the basis of linguistic and onomastic evidence that modern scholarship has tended to focus too heavily on the notion of divine functions or spheres of activity, rather than considering localities and social structures.
