Detalles del libro
This is the first book in English to deal with the twin subjects of Old Norse poetry and the various vernacular treatises on native poetry which were a conspicuous feature of medieval intellectual life in Iceland and the Orkneys from the mid-twelfth to the fourteenth centuries. Its aim is to give a clear description of the rich poetic tradition of early Scandinavia, particularly in Iceland, where it reached its zenith, and to demonstrate the social contexts that favoured poetic composition.
