"[...] in this volume Lyle has succeeded in bringing together a remarkably balanced and coherent collection of essays that again and again make striking observations and major contributions to current discussions."- Matthias Egeler, Scandinavian Studies, Vol. 94, No. 3 ''There are many valuable essays in this work that will be of great interest to scholars working in either Norse or Irish medieval materials.'' - Tok Thompson, University of Southern California. ''The individual scholarship contained in this volume is outstanding.'' - Dirk Schuster, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 48, No. 2, June 2022 . ''Interconnections run through this volume in a way that gives it an overarching unity, which perfectly balances the very different approaches taken by the individual contributors and which is one of the traits that makes it a pleasure to read not just as a collection of papers, but as an actual book.''- Matthias Egeler, Scandinavian Studies.
