The medieval northern world consisted of a vast and culturally diverse region both geographically, from roughly Greenland to Novgorod and culturally, as one of the last areas of Europe to be converted to Christianity. Old Norse Folklore explores the complexities of thisfascinating world in case studies and theoretical essays that connect orality and performance theory to memory studies, and myths relating to pre-Christian Nordic religion to innovations within late medieval pilgrimage song culture. Old Norse Folklore provides critical new perspectives on the Old Norse world, some of which appear in this volume for the first time in English. Stephen A. Mitchell presents emerging methodologies by analyzing Old Norse materials to offer a better understandings ofunderstanding of Old Norse materials. He examines, interprets, and re-interprets the medieval data bequeathed to us by posterity—myths, legends, riddles, charms, court culture, conversion narratives, landscapes, and mindscapes—targeting largely overlooked, yet important sources of cultural insights.

Dette er tredje og siste bind i Lars Frode Larsens verk om en av Norges største forfattere gjennom tidene. Dette bindet tar for seg perioden 1891-1893, og som i de to første bindene presenterer han mange nye og overraskende opplysninger om Hamsun i begynnelsen av hans enestående karriere. Sentralt i dette bindet er foredragsturneen der han tok for seg samtidens dikterstørrelser på en måte som vakte oppsikt og skaffet ham ry som en glimrende taler. Man får også følge forfatteren gjennom arbeidet med romanen "Mysterier". Boken kan leses uavhengig av de to andre bindene. Forhåndsomtale.
