Extract

In preparing this paper I have tried to choose a subject of equal interest to both our countries. The peculiar decorative style of the Migration period is common to Anglo-Saxon England and to Scandinavia; and with equal ardour archaeologists on both sides have been engaged in solving its fascinating problems. Especially in recent years English antiquaries have made most valuable contributions, which seem to call for a revision of current Scandinavian opinions about these questions. In acknowledgement of the high merits of English archaeology in this complex and difficult research, I shall try to set forth how far a Norse student may accept the explanation offered by eminent English scholars like Dr. Ellis Minns and Mr. Reginald A. Smith.
