The first group of essays in this volume explores the links between
early Norse literature, from the 9th to the 13th century, and the
learned world of medieval Europe. In the second group the focus is
upon the range of theme and style in Norse mythological poetry.
Some of the key texts are considered in relation to Anglo-Saxon
poetry as well as to the wider and more archaic Indo-European
cultural inheritance. The third group offers detailed analyses of
early Norse heroic poetry, of the formatic role of verse in the
Icelandic sagas and of the final perfecting of prose as the
ultimate saga medium. The 16 essays, taken together, are essential
reading for all scholars, critics and historians who seek to
understand the development of one of the world's most unusual and
sophisticated literatures.
