요약Between the mid-1700s and the Great War, people in Europe and North America were gripped by a sudden frenzy of enthusiasm for all things Norse. Eminent academics and ordinary readers discovered an insatiable curiosity for medieval Scandinavia, imagined land of dragon-prowed ships and saga heroes. Revivalists composed endless translations, novels, poems, ballads, retellings, and works of history about the medieval Norse. They crafted engravings, paintings, and even scrimshaw carvings mimicking Norse art or depicting Norse events. Universities, academics, and amateur enthusiasts drove a thriving market for these productions, accumulating vast collections that made their way into present-day libraries.In this dissertation, I put forward two principal contentions: first, the Viking was an object of visible and escalating engagement in scholarship and media in France across the nineteenth century; second, the Viking achieved such cultural purchase because they could be made to address France's many problems. They offered the malleability and imaginative force of the distant past, meaning they could be manipulated to fit a variety of purposes while retaining discursive charisma. I maintain that the Norse gained such traction in nineteenth-century France because they could be refigured to serve in many forms: as secret repositories of ancient knowledge of Aryan migrations, affirming white supremacy; as early trans-Atlantic explorers, affirming the plausibility and inevitability of global settler colonialism; as founders of Normandy, affirming the region's union with the rest of the nation; or as shieldmaidens, affirming the natural and eternal femininity of even the most transgressive women. Over the course of this dissertation, I show how various French actors working in a range of fields - including academia, journalism, art, and theater - remade the Viking to tackle issues of racial hierarchy, colonialism, regionalism, and gender disorder.
