Old Norse Folklore
2023
Overview
The medieval northern world consisted of a vast and
culturally diverse region both geographically, from roughly
Greenland to Novgorod and culturally, as one of the last areas of
Europe to be converted to Christianity . Old Norse
Folklore explores the complexities of thisfascinating world in
case studies and theoretical essays that connect orality and
performance theory to memory studies, and myths relating to
pre-Christian Nordic religion to innovations within late medieval
pilgrimage song culture.
Old Norse Folklore provides critical new perspectives
on the Old Norse world, some of which appear in this volume for the
first time in English. Stephen A. Mitchell presents emerging
methodologies by analyzing Old Norse materials to offer a better
understandings ofunderstanding of Old Norse materials. He examines,
interprets, and re-interprets the medieval data bequeathed to us by
posterity-myths, legends, riddles, charms, court culture,
conversion narratives, landscapes, and mindscapes-targeting largely
overlooked, yet important sources of cultural insights.
