This book presents the first collection of the earliest West
Germanic bridal-quest narratives together with a comparative study
of them. In contrast to earlier studies, the author locates the
origin of this narrative tradition in the oral and written Germanic
literary tradition, a result that leads to a re-assessment of the
genesis of vernacular German and Scandinavian literature. The
chapters deal in chronological order with the Latin chronicles of
the Germanic peoples and with the early Latin and vernacular
literature in Germany and Scandinavia.
