The authors of the present volume, "Myth, Materiality, and Lived Religion", focus on the material dimension of Old Norse mythology and the role played by myths in everyday life. More broadly expressed, the collection looks at the social, ceremonial and material contexts of myths. This topic has been underexplored in previous research on Old Norse myths, despite its important theoretical implications. However, discussions around materiality, in a more general sense, have for a long time been significant for historians of religion, especially archaeologists. "Myth, Materiality, and Lived Religion" seeks to make the case for the relevance of materiality to literary historians and philologists as well.
