Download or read book Stories and Ballads of the Far Past written by N. Kershaw and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1921, this book contains English translations of stories taken from the Fornaldar Sögur Northrlanda, or 'Stories of Ancient Times relating to the countries of the North', a collection of Old Norse Sagas edited by Rafn in 1829-30 and re-edited by Valdimar Ásmundarson in 1886-91. The stories contained in this collection deal almost exclusively with times anterior to Harold the Fairhaired (c. 860-930), and the colonisation of Iceland. Written texts for the stories as a rule come from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, though the actual manuscripts themselves are generally later. This English edition contains a generous introduction and explanatory notes, making it accessible to the general reader. It will be of value to anyone with an interest in Old Norse literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Ballads of the Far Past: Translated From the Norse (Icelandic and Faroese) With Introductions and Notes Very few of the Fornaldar Sogur Northrlanda have hitherto been translated into English. The Volsungasaga 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 one - the Thattr of Sorli - has 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 stones as the sagas translated here; and for purposes of comparison I have added a short extract from one of the Icelandic Rimur, as well as a Danish ballad and part of the Shetland Hildina. In accordance with general custom in works of this kind I have discarded the use of accents, unfamiliar symbols, etc., except in a few Norse words which can hardly be anglicised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Great scholarship and personal style blend syncretic in Frigg, a book which staands out as both a homage to the goddess and a guide for those seeking her.' Daniela Simina, author of Where Fairies Meet: Parallels between Irish and Romanian Fairy Traditions The Norse goddess Frigg is known to have influence over many roles. She is a goddess of marriage and children, but she is also a goddess of fate and cunning. Frigg is a goddess of domestic activities, and she is a goddess of healing. She is a goddess of both love and peace. As the Queen of Asgard, Frigg tends to a court of 12 handmaidens, each having their own distinct qualities. This introductory book examines Frigg’s history, functions, relationships, and ways to honor her in our modern times.
