Medieval Dublin IX

Seán Duffy, editor

Reviews

‘As with previous symposia the eclectic mix of articles gives us new insights into what made Dublin', Books Ireland (September 2009)

‘… a handsome, properly footnoted [book] … a truly stirring account (by Tríona Nicholl) tells of the reconstruction of a 30m long Viking age warship (based on one excavated in Roskilde, Denmark, in 1962) … even for a landlubber it’s enthralling', PS, British Archaeology (Nov/Dec 2009)

‘Duffy has collected a diverse group of essays that showcase recent research into the history and archaeology of medieval Dublin … of special interest is Tríona Nicholl’s chronicle of her journal from Denmark to Ireland as crewmember on the Sea-Stallion of Glendalough, a reconstruction of a Viking Age longship that may have been built in Dublin a millennium ago. Generously illustrated (and surprisingly readable for non-specialists), this book should appeal both to academics and to general readers interested in Irish history or archaeology', Reference and Research Book News (November 2009)
