“…Everything down to the haircuts and tattoos, the battle scenes, the filming techniques, and the almost obligatory trope of the 'warrior princess' make Redbad very much part of what could be called the 'New Viking Wave' in popular culture, albeit a significantly less successful one. 22 At this point, the modern reception history of Redbad coincides seamlessly with that of the Viking, following the same track from noble (or fierce) savage with Wagnerian headdress to emancipated 'hipster', embodying our own contemporary values and sensitivities (Birkett 2020).

I denna antologi med titeln Viking Heritage and History in Europe undersöks sådant som vikingen på museer, i serietidningar, i tv-och dataspel, i reklam, på film, och som hobby.…”
