Stories and Ballads of the Far Past - Translated from the Norse (Icelandic and Faroese) with Introductions and Notes
This Book contains extensive Notes on the various Sagas, Ballads, etc. Unobtrusive links have been provided throughout each Thttr, Saga or Ballad to the relevant note, and another, unobtrusive, return link. Click on the to go to the Notes, and on the to return. Very few of the Fornaldar Sgur Northrlanda have hitherto been translated into English. The Vlsungasaga is of course well known, but with this exception the 'Stories of Icelanders,' and the 'Stories of the Kings of Norway' are probably the only sagas familiar to the majority of English readers. Of the four sagas contained in this volume only onethe Thttr of Srlihas appeared in English before, though the poetry which they contain has frequently been translated, from the time of Hickes's Thesaurus (1705). So far as I am aware no version of any of the Faroese ballads has appeared in English. Out of the great number which were collected during the 18th and 19th centuries I have chosen a few which deal with the same stories as the sagas translated here; and for purposes of comparison I have added a short extract from one of the Icelandic Rmur, as well as a Danish ballad and part of the Shetland Hildina. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
