CARPENTER AND PROFESSOR ARTHUR F. J. REMY Of Columb1a Un1vers1ty PREFACE The completion of this work would have been impossible along the present lines if the author had not been able, throughout the course of his investigations, to draw without reserve on the advice and assistance of several gentlemen who were kind enough to place their special philological accomplishments at his disposal. The author is indebted to Professor William H. Carpenter, of Columbia University, for the suggestion of the subject and for many hints as to the division and distribution of the material, as well as for many literary references of great value. To Professor Eugen Mogk, of Leipzig, are due the author's thanks for suggestions as to the source of some of the folklore material in GHS. Mr. Halldor Hermannsson, Custodian of the Fiske Icelandic Collection at the Cornell University Library, aided the author in properly utilizing the resources of that great collection, also by sending him lists of MSS. inaccessible in this city, and by introducing him by mail to Mr. Matthias pordarson, then of Copenhagen, now of Reykjavik, Iceland, who copied the Ggngu-Hrolfs Rimur at Copenhagen, and later collated them with another MS. at Reykjavik. Professor Arthur F. J. Remy, of Columbia University, carefully went over the entire MS., thus giving the author numerous corrections and suggestions based on an intimate acquaintance with the phonology of Old Norse and with the whole field of medieval literature. But for Professor Remy's generous gift of his time and his expert knowledge in these fields, the publication of these pages might have been much delayed. Mr. Charles F. Barnason, a native of Iceland, and now a student at the College of the City of...

Download or read book Old Norse Images of Women written by Jenny Jochens and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working from the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda, and Old Norse prose narratives and laws, Jenny Jochens argues for an underlying cultural continuum of a pagan pantheon and a set of heroic figures shared by the Germanic tribes in Europe, Britain, Scandinavia, and Iceland from A.D. 500 to 1500. Old Norse Images of Women explores the female half of this legacy, which involves images both divine and human. In a society marked by sharp gender divisions, women were frequently portrayed as one of four conventional types. The warrior woman was exemplified by the valkyrie, sheildmaiden, or maiden king. The wise woman was a prophetess or sorceress. The avenger is best seen in Gudrun, whose focus of revenge shifted from husband to brothers. Last, there were the whetters or inciters, who appear both in the Continental setting as Brynhildr and as ubiquitous figures in medieval Icelandic literature, ranging from Norwegian queens to humble milkmaids.

Book excerpt: Brynhild is the paramount figure of Germanic legend, but she has been subordinated more often than not to the male object of her passion. Her story is thus normally referred to as the legend of Sigurd or, in German circles, the legend of Siegfried. The title of this book is intended to make the point that the legend sings principally of the woman, not the man, a view that I argue specifically at the beginning of Chapter 2. My task has been to examine the sometimes fragmentary and always refractory medieval accounts of Brynhild with a view to extracting from them a better appreciation of her personality. This task made it necessary to reopen the long-standing debate on the textual relationships of the major literary documents (Poetic Edda, Vǫlsunga saga, Pioreks saga, and Nibelungenlied). As a consequence the book has become a general reassessment of the so-called Nibelung question, a good part of which it attempts to summarize and elucidate.
