The film was about Lief Eriksson, or Leif the Lucky, the leader of possibly the first group of Europeans to reach North America. The review is positive, describing the film as ‘a remarkable screen achievement’, featuring dragon ships and Viking dress and armour. The reviewer also notes that Lief had a saga written about him, although the saga (story) that provides the most information about Lief is the saga about his father, Saga of Erik the Red’s.

Title A name given to the resource Viking Valour Subject The topic of the resource Beserker, fiction, Samuel Hirsdon, Norseman, pagan, Perth, short story, Sunday Times, Viking, WA, Western Australia Description An account of the resource A story by Samuel Hirsdon in the ‘3 Short Stories for Week-End Reading’ section of the Perth newspaper the Sunday Times on October 29, 1939. The story is about a group of Norsemen at sea (led by the curiously named Sir Ranulf, which does not sound particularly Norse) who accidently land in North America. The lone woman in the group is kidnapped by native ‘savages’ and later rescued by a mysterious Viking Beserker named Brand after he kills a number of her captors with his bare hands. Beserkers are found in Old Norse poetry and sagas and appear to have been people who were particularly ferocious fighters and wore bear skins into battle.

Title A name given to the resource A Viking's Sword Subject The topic of the resource Brisbane, burial, England, Norseman, The Queenslander, raiding, ship, ships, swords, sword, QLD, Queensland, sacrifice, Sweden, Viking, warfare, war, battle, battles, weapon, weapons, weaponry Description An account of the resource A highly romanticised article on page 46 of the Brisbane newspaper The Queenslander on 17 May, 1934. The article reports on a male Viking warrior grave uncovered in Sweden. Among the various grave-goods found was a sword made in England. This leads the author to create a highly speculative account of a Viking raid on England and the sword being ‘taken from the dead hand of one who fell defending his home’. Other goods found accompanying this member of the ‘sea wolves’ included a horse, dog, a possible slave, gaming pieces and a possible slave. The article also mentions the ‘savage gods’ that the man was likely to worship and his preference to die abroad in battle. The article is a good example of the romantic speculation that the Vikings seem to encourage. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.

Title A name given to the resource 'The Viking': A film review in the ‘Camperdown Chronicle’ Subject The topic of the resource Camperdown, Camperdown Chronicle, cinema, Erik the Red, Lief Eriksson, film, films, review, film review, Greenland, Helga, Norseman, pagan, Thorhild, VIC, Victoria, Viking Description An account of the resource A film review in the ‘Camperdown Chronicle’ on August 24, 1929 for ‘The Viking’. The review is featured in the ‘Camperdown Theatre: Tonight’s Pictures’ section on page 5. Unlike other reviews of the film, this one focuses on the main actors (for example, ’Pauline Starke dyed her Titian hair to appear’) and characters (Leif Eriksson and Helga, Erik the Red, his wife Thorhild) rather than the ships and costumes. Erik the Red is described as ‘the pagan ruler of Greenland’, while the supporting cast who play ‘the Viking types of Norsemen’ manage to create ‘an appearance as of a lost tribe brought back to life’. This is one of many reviews (some of the others can also be found on the ‘Medievalism on the Page’ section of this website – see Viking Memories and The Viking) which appeared in newspapers around Australia for what was evidently a very popular film.
