Eddic performance and eddic audiences
2016What exactly was an eddic poem? The first thing that can be stated with any certainty is that it was not what it has become – in other words, a poem written in ink on parchment or paper, gathered together in a book with other poems in a format designed essentially for silent, private reading, in which all the stanzas can be quickly viewed side by side ...

There have been few analyses of place-name usage in Old Norse poetry. We have the odd article discussing names in poems such as Ynglingatal (e.g. Noreen 1925; Akerlund 1939; Vikstrand 2004) and, of course, the related Old English Beowulf and Widsið .

Traditions of eddic scholarship
2016This chapter characterises some types of eddic scholarship as ‘traditions’ or ‘streams (of tradition)’. It is in no way a full history of scholarship on eddic poetry; but, because traditions everywhere in cultures represent similar phenomena flowing through history, the traditions of eddic scholarship treated here can, it is hoped, suggest the ...

Eddic poetry and heroic legend
2016Introduction In his preface to a recent collection of essays on eddic heroic poetry and heroic legend, Tom Shippey remarks on the nineteenth-century realisation that ‘there was something recognisable in the heroic poems of what came to be called “the Elder Edda”’ (Shippey 2013: xiv).
