Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tale of Thrond of Gate: Commonly Called Faereyinga Saga This story is found in the great fourteenth-century Icelandic MS. known as Flateybook, out up into separate pieces, which are seen when brought together to make a single tale, which we may call Thrond's Saga. This single story must have been put into shape by an Icelander of the School of Snorre early in the thirteenth century. By an Icelander, because of the lack of local colour and the mistakes made as to the geography of the Faerays. By one of the School of Snorre, because of the identity of its classic style with that of the best Kings' Lives composed by Snorre, and of the finest Icelandic Family Sagas of the day. In the thirteenth century, because it mentions Einar Sigmund's son and his brother Scegge as lately stewards or high reeves of the Faereys (chap. 58), and Boglunga Saga speaks of this Einar, o. 1200, as alive (see Orkney Saga, R. S., L 233). Such a date as 1230, therefore, well accords with all the internal evidence the style and character of the story yield. We have got as far as the single story, but, on examination, it turns out to be, like the Icelandic Sagas of the same period, really a compilation, and though there is no small art shown in the composition, it has not been the compiler's care to smooth the joints out, or to disguise the qualities of the different factors in his compound.

Book excerpt: Norse Legends represents an extraordinary compendium that bridges the chasm between ancient myth and modern interpretation, offering readers a diverse tapestry of tales that encapsulate the ethos of Norse mythology. This collection shines light on a broad range of literary styles, from the poetic eddas penned by Snorri Sturluson to the anonymously authored sagas that have traversed centuries.

The anthology stands out for weaving together seminal pieces that have been pivotal in the resurgence of interest in Norse mythology, highlighting the manuscripts' historical significance and their impact on contemporary pop culture. The contributors, though varying greatly in time and space, share a collective heritage steeped in the Norse tradition. Snorri Sturluson, a figurehead of the Old Norse literary movement, and the anonymous storytellers who passed down oral legends through generations, bring to the pages a rich confluence of historical, cultural, and literary narratives. Their works reflect the diverse strata of Norse society, from the divine machinations of Asgard to the earthy tales of human adventurers, encapsulating a wide spectrum of moral and philosophical themes that have intrigued scholars and enthusiasts alike. Norse Legends offers readers a unique lens through which to explore the immense landscape of Norse mythology. It is an invitation to venture into a world where the line between history and myth blurs, guided by the voices of those who have shaped these narratives through millennia. For enthusiasts of mythology, scholars of ancient literature, and anyone captivated by the tales of gods and heroes, this anthology is an invaluable resource that promises to enrich one's understanding of Norse heritage. The collection serves not just as scholarly material but as a gateway to the profound and often enigmatic world of the Norse, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling and the enduring power of myth.
