| Summary |
This collection of essays on Old Norse-Icelandic poetry is concerned with the blurring of boundaries between genres and periods. Many of the texts and topics taken up have been difficult to categorize and have received less attention than they deserve. These essays present new evidence, offer new interpretations, and hope to awaken new appreciation for undervalued poetry |
