Download or read book EPICS AND ROMANCES OF THE MIDDLE AGES 23 Epic Medival Romances and Myths written by Wilhelm Wagner and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein is a collection of, at least, 23 illustrated, epic romances and legends from the middle ages. This volume contains the ever popular the Nibelung Hero as well as the tales of Beowulf, Roland the Paladin and Tristram and Isolde amongst the many recounted. The majority of these myths and legends have Northern European, British, Norse and Germanic origins, with the others sourced from the other regions of Europe. All are rich with cultural imagery and have captivating narratives. The virtues of knightly valour, so common to folklore and legends, are present in many of the stories, wrapped around and intertwined with the customs of royal courts, as we have come to know them. Fair maidens, and the practices of chivalry and courtship in their medieval form are a recurring theme. Enemies and nemeses, whether human or mythical beast are presented as vicious and foreboding, but, as always, a knight in shining armour on a white stallion sallies forth to save the damsel in distress and the day – well most times, at least. Originally published in 1884, this collection of stories was compiled by scholar of Medieval literature Wilhelm Wägner. The widely ranging stories within were chosen for their vivid imagery and emotive punch. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Epic romances, tales, legends, middle ages, myths, sagas, wilhelm wagner, love, lust, knights in shining armour, Amelung, Kindred Legends, Langobardian, Alboin, Rosamund, King Rother, Ortnit, Hugdieterich, Wolfdieterich, King Samson, Dietwart, Dietrich Of Bern, Hildebrand, Comrades, action, Adventure, Faithful Ally, Ermenrich, Harlungs, King Etzel, Walter, Wasgenstein, Hildegunde, Reussen, Battle Of Ravenna, Going Home, Nibelung Hero, Siegfried, Youth, Burgundy, Dragonstone, dragon, Wooing, Brunhild, Treason, Death, Woe, Hunland, Lament, Hegeling Legend, Hagen, Hettel, Gudrun, Queen Gerlind, Victory, Beowulf, Grendel, Bold Diver, She-Wolf, Sea, Fight With The Dragon, Carolingian Legends, Children Of Haymon, Roland, Bugle, horn, William Of Orange, Legends Of King Arthur, Holy Grail, Titurel, Percival, Lohengrin, Tristram, Isolde, Tannhäuser

Download or read book Nordic Sagas as Children s Literature written by Velma Bourgeois Richmond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines translations of Icelandic sagas and the Victorian and Edwardian children's literature they inspired, some of which are canonical while others are forgotten. It covers authors like William Morris, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Thomas Gray, Walter Scott, H. Rider Haggard, W.H. Auden, John Greenleef Whittier and more. In lavish volumes and modest schoolbooks, British and American writers claimed Nordic heritage and explored Nordic traditions. The sagas offered a rich and wide-ranging source for these authors: Volsunga saga's Sigurd the dragon slayer; King Olaf's saga of opposing Nordic Gods and Christianity; Frithiof's model of headstrong youth beset with unfair opposition and lost love. Grettir and Njal tell of men who accepted fate and met conflict and enemies unflinchingly; Aslaug, Gudrida, Hallberga and Hervar exerted remarkable influence; and Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky provided Americans with a Nordic heritage of discovery.
