This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia The native religion of the ancient Scandinavians was in its main features only a special form of that common to all the Germanic peoples, and this again was only a particular development of primitive beliefs and practices characteristic of the whole Aryan race. It is impossible to say how far back in time the special Germanic and Scandinavian developments of this religion may go, and of their earlier stages we have absolutely no knowledge beyond what may be doubtfully reached by the methods of comparison and in ference. Even of the later stages our informa tion is much more scanty than might be expected. Among the Goths, the southern Germans, and the anglo-saxons in Britain, paganism gave way to Christianity at so early a period, that very few details relating to it have been recorded by the civil or religious historians of these peoples; they were indeed more inclined to suppress than perpetuate any lingering knowledge of this kind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Scandinavian Mythology, Containing a Popular Account of the Two Eddas and of the Religion of Odin The Mythology of the ancient Scandinavians, respecting which so much curious information has been brought to light, of late years, by the researches of many distinguished writers, in Germany, Denmark, and Sweden,1 has hitherto excited but little attention in this country, al though the subject is well calculated to awaken our interest, not only as the source of most of our popular superstitions, from whence the fa vourite authors of our early childhood and of our maturer age have drawn their witches, their fairies, their dwarfs, their giants, and their ghosts but in an historical point of view also.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of the Northmen The Introductory Chapters grew up of necessity. The subject before us and the constant reference to the Eddas and Sagas - the sources of Scandinavian Mvthology and History - make it desirable, and even necessary, to have some knowledge of their character and their history. Unfortunately there is not yet, in the English language, any history of the old-icelandic literature and its Restoration, to which reference can be made. An Abstract has, therefore, been here compressed within the limits of an Introduction, where it must, of necessity, be brief. In preparing it, the writer has availed him self of N yerup's Survey of the History of Studies in Scandinavian Mythology,96 Koeppen's Literary Introduction to Northern the publica tions of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries of Copenhagen, and the works referred to, gen erally.
