內容簡介

This two-volume corpus presents most of Icelandic skaldic poetry of Christian devotional content that was composed in the 12th-15th centuries--28 poems in all. (The Elder Edda and related poems will appear in another volume.) Each of the poems appears in a critical edition, with English translation and extensive notes. The notes list manuscript variants, previous editions, and questions related to the poem's phonology, metre, lexicography, and interpretation. The result is a scholarly and thorough presentation that will be invaluable to students and scholars of Old Norse as well as to those in related fields, including history, religion, and archaeology. The 16 contributors responsible for the poems' presentation are with universities in Denmark, Iceland, the U.K., the U.S., Australia, Canada, and Germany.
