| Zusammenfassung: | In Heroic Sagas and Ballads, Stephen A. Mitchell examines the world of the medieval Icelandic legendary sagas and their legacy in Scandinavia. Central to his argument is the view that these heroic texts should be studied in the light of the later Icelandic Middle Ages rather than that of the Viking age, although the stories, the tellers, and the audiences are clearly concerned with exactly this period of Scandinavian history.Viewing these sagas as the products of highly diverse forms of inspiration and creation-some oral, some written-Mitchell explores their aesthetic and social dimensions, demonstrating their function both as entertainment and as a literature with a more serious purpose, one with deep roots in Nordic literary consciousness. The traditions that these sagas relate possessed an importance beyond the temporal and geographical confines of medieval Iceland, and Heroic Sagas and Ballads considers the process by which these heroic materials were subsequently recast as metrical romances in Iceland and as ballads throughout the rest of Scandinavia. It is ultimately concerned with much more than just those stories that inspired such modern writers as Richard Wagner and H. Rider Haggard; its anthropological and folkloric approach to the legendary sagas shows how the extraliterary dimensions of medieval texts can be explored.Heroic Sagas and Ballads addresses issues of central importance to medievalists, folklorists, comparatists, Scandinavianists, and students of the ballad |

Mitchell Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press [2018] © 1991 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Myth and Poetics Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 23. Jan 2019) In Heroic Sagas and Ballads, Stephen A. Mitchell examines the world of the medieval Icelandic legendary sagas and their legacy in Scandinavia. Central to his argument is the view that these heroic texts should be studied in the light of the later Icelandic Middle Ages rather than that of the Viking age, although the stories, the tellers, and the audiences are clearly concerned with exactly this period of Scandinavian history.Viewing these sagas as the products of highly diverse forms of inspiration and creation-some oral, some written-Mitchell explores their aesthetic and social dimensions, demonstrating their function both as entertainment and as a literature with a more serious purpose, one with deep roots in Nordic literary consciousness. The traditions that these sagas relate possessed an importance beyond the temporal and geographical confines of medieval Iceland, and Heroic Sagas and Ballads considers the process by which these heroic materials were subsequently recast as metrical romances in Iceland and as ballads throughout the rest of Scandinavia. It is ultimately concerned with much more than just those stories that inspired such modern writers as Richard Wagner and H. Rider Haggard; its anthropological and folkloric approach to the legendary sagas shows how the extraliterary dimensions of medieval texts can be explored.Heroic Sagas and Ballads addresses issues of central importance to medievalists, folklorists, comparatists, Scandinavianists, and students of the ballad In English Fornaldarsögur Norðurlanda (DE-588)4155039-0 gnd rswk-swf Civilization, Medieval, in literature Old Norse literature History and criticism Oral tradition Sagas History and criticism Saga (DE-588)4051284-8 gnd rswk-swf Zeithintergrund (DE-588)4128644-3 gnd rswk-swf Ballade (DE-588)4004343-5 gnd rswk-swf Fornaldar sögur (DE-588)4304969-2 gnd rswk-swf Altnordisch (DE-588)4120126-7 gnd rswk-swf Altnordisch (DE-588)4120126-7 s Ballade (DE-588)4004343-5 s 1\p DE-604 Saga (DE-588)4051284-8 s Zeithintergrund (DE-588)4128644-3 s 2\p DE-604 Fornaldarsögur Norðurlanda (DE-588)4155039-0 u 3\p DE-604 Fornaldar sögur (DE-588)4304969-2 s 4\p DE-604 https://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.7591/9781501735974 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
