By the early middle ages vernacular aristocratic traditions of
heroic narration were firmly established in Western and Northern
Europe. Although there are regional, linguistic and formal
differences, one can observe a number of similarities. Oral
literature disseminates a range of themes that are shared by
narratives in most parts of the continent. In all the European
regions, this tradition of heroic narration came into contact with
Christianity, which led to modifications. Similar processes of
adaptation and transformation can be traced everywhere in this
field of early European vernacular narrative. But with the
increasing specialization of academic fields over the last half
century, inter-disciplinary dialogue has become increasingly
difficult. The volume is a contribution to renew the
inter-disciplinary dialogue about common themes, topics and motifs
in Nordic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic literature, and about
the different methodologies to explore them.
