About this book

"The Vikings of Helgeland" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in 1857. Set in tenth-century Norway during the transition from Old Norse traditions to Christianity, the drama follows Ørnulf and his seven sons as they search for his daughter and foster-daughter, who were abducted and forcibly married. Ancient concepts of honor and duty collide with family loyalty, setting in motion events that echo the Germanic myth of Sigmund and Brynhilde. This early Ibsen work explores the violent clash between pagan values and emerging Christian ideals.
