Lars Magnar Enoksen

Enoksen was born in Malmö in 1960 to a Swedish mother and Norwegian father. His work has received very varied reviews and critique from academics and experts in Old Norse studies and runology; while Runor: Historia, tydning, tolkning (~Runes:History, deciphering, interpretation) is described by Professor Henrik Williams as the best introduction to runology written in Swedish, later works like Runor: Mästarens handbok (~Runes, the Master's handbook) was reviewed by Williams as riddled with mistakes and errors that range from simplifications to the directly misleading. Lars_Lönnroth claims the books Djur och natur i fornnordisk mytologi (~Animals and nature in Norse mythology) and Vikingarnas egna ord (In the Viking's own words), while certainly presenting fascinating myths and traditions on the way to be forgotten in a vivid and enthusiastic manner, are written entirely without insight of the modern research in the field as well as a lack of source criticism and national romantic thinking derived from the 1900s.
