The Elder Gods
The Otherworld of Early England
 

This is a thorough and unequalled presentation of Anglo-Saxon heathen beliefs, values and superstitions. Its purpose is to bring together a range of evidence for pre-Christian ideas about the Otherworld drawn from archaeology, linguistics, literary studies and comparative mythology. The rich and varied English tradition influenced the worldview of later mediaeval and Norse societies. Aspects of this tradition are with us still in the 21st century.
