Teutonic Myth and Legend - An Introduction to the Eddas &
Sagas, Beowulf, The Nibelungenlied, etc. This is a good collection
of Northern myths, interspersed with poems and passages in classic
literature that were inspired by (or are adaptations of) these
myths. Like most myth collections, each story stands alone and a
search for plot cohesion or smooth continuity will end in
frustration. But each stand-alone is rich in imagery and a certain
dreaminess that, in aggregate with all the other stories, impart a
fierce, cold, clear imaginative state that lingers far after you've
closed the book.
Originally published in 1935. In this volume the folk-lore of
Scotland is given intensive study and its characteristic features
bought into prominence. Comparative notes are provided along with a
historical summary which deals chiefly with intrusions, settlements
or expulsions of aliens; and there is a study of the race question
based upon reliable data, including those accumulated in many
Scottish schools and during the recruiting period of the Great War.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
