Final volume in three-volume set of translations of Arthurian
romances from medieval Scandinavia. Haerra Ivan (Sir Ivan, the
Knight with the Lion) is the first major work of fiction in
Swedish, and an important Scandinavian example of Arthurian
romance. The translation from the French original was carried out
at the request of the German-born Queen Eufemia of Norway, a
country with a richer literary culture than Sweden at the time:
Haerra Ivan thus brought Continental, courtly culture to the then
recently formalised Swedish feudal class. Last edited in 1931, the
poem has been unjustly neglected in recent years; this edition and
English translation, with introduction, will make it widely
accessible to international scholars. Professor MARIANNE KALINKE
teaches in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; HENRIK WILLIAMS
teaches in the Department of Scandinavian Languages at Uppsala
University.
