"Canute the Great, 995 (circa)-1035, and the Rise of Danish Imperialism during the Viking Age" by Laurence Marcellus Larson, Ph.D. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The author, an associate professor of history, delves into the life and accomplishments of Canute the Great, exploring his crucial role in the development of Danish power and imperialism during the Viking Age. The book addresses both Canute's piratical beginnings and his transformation into a significant statesman and ruler of multiple territories, which highlights the complexity of his character and the era. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for an exploration of the Viking age, establishing the viking invasions as pivotal events that shaped Western Europe, particularly focusing on England. It introduces the troublesome and violent nature of the period, characterized by incessant fear and conflict due to Scandinavian raids. Throughout the beginning, Larson discusses the existing beliefs about the Viking's contributions to civilization, arguing that these were largely overlooked by English historians. Moreover, he lays the groundwork for examining Canute's life, revealing his royal lineage and ambitions, and hints at the challenges he and his dynasty faced in consolidating power over Denmark, England, and Norway. The narrative reflects on the historical significance of Viking movements, preparing readers for a comprehensive study of Canute's impact and the age he represents.
