Pagan Goddesses in the Early Germanic World: Eostre, Hreda and the Cult of Matrons - Studies in Early Medieval History
Shaw, Philip A. (University of Leicester, UK)
This book considers evidence for Germanic goddesses in England and on the Continent, and argues on the basis of linguistic and onomastic evidence that modern scholarship has tended to focus too heavily on the notion of divine functions or spheres of activity, rather than considering localities and social structures.
