Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Iceland IT is earnestly hoped that the readers of this little book will feel that they deal not with the dead. To bring home to them as far as possible the life of this past, stories and quotations from Icelandic books have been frequently given, and in most cases in the exact words of the translators. Sometimes, however, the tales have been abridged or simplified because this short history is chiefly written for children. The names of the writers to whom I am thus indebted will be found in the second index at the end of the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Icelandic Legends Those who are thoroughly acquainted with the literature of Iceland are agreed that, so far as the historical part of it is concerned, it holds a distinguished place among the literatures of the world, next indeed to the classics of ancient Greece and Rome. And though its historians, the authors of its noble sagas, have been men of high learning and cultivated minds, its peasants, uncultivated and unlearned, have been those who have handed down to us the traditional lore of the country, the poetical and imaginative tales of elves, trolls, ghosts, goblins, and monsters; some contentin g themselves with telling them often by the Winter fire; others adding stories from their own mental testimonies. And thus, in the course of many years, the mass of such stories has accumulated, until at length, becoming perhaps too Unwieldy for oral tradition, it has been committed to paper by the peasants and others, who were its guardians and possessors, at the earnest and constant request of Mr?

In the third part, besides viewing the nature of the springs from a new stand point, which these experiments seem to justify, I have included several well known theories, in so far as the latter are borne out by the present investigations; and thereby have endeavoured to make the subject under consideration more couse quent and complete.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Northern Love Stories and Other Tales: Translated From the Icelandic The Viglund, again, in spite of its story being localised definitely enough, is confessedly nothing but a pure fiction, and in more than one place the tale-teller has borrowed from earlier stories e.g. The incident at p. 192 from the Frithiof; and the fight in which the sons of Holmkell are slain from the story of Helgi and Grim, the sons of Droplaug. It should be mentioned that the melody given in it is an old traditional one in Iceland, and may be taken as an example of the sort of tune to which the staves of verse in the Sagas were sung.
