Norse America: The Story of a Founding Myth

In this interview, we talk to author and scholar Gordon Campbell all about his new book Norse America: The Story of a Founding Myth. Content sponsored by Oxford University Press Norse America: The Story of a Founding Myth A New Book by Gordon Campbell Tracking the saga of the Norse across the North Atlantic to America, the book [Norse America]( (published by Oxford University Press) sets the record straight about the idea that the Vikings 'discovered' America. The journey described is a continuum, with evidence-based history and archaeology at one end, and outright fraud at the other. In between there lies a huge expanse of uncertainty: sagas that may contain shards of truth, characters that may be partly historical, and fragmentary evidence open to responsible and irresponsible interpretation.
