Description
Eric Brighteyes, a novel by H. Rider Haggard, represents a departure from his more famous works set in Africa. Published in 1891, it is set primarily in tenth-century Iceland and combines scholarly authenticity with Haggard's unique flair for the strange and supernatural. This new edition of Eric Brighteyes includes an introduction to its literary and historical context, as well as extensive annotations on its sources and influences. Tom Shippey provides explanatory notes and discusses Tolkien's admiration for Haggard and the Victorian fascination with Vikings. The book features 17 full-page illustrations by Lancelot Speed. The Victorian Viking novel was once a popular genre, but Eric Brighteyes remains one of the best examples of this style, driven by female characters and praised for its heroic quality.
