This volume presents twenty essays by leading scholars of Old
Norse which bring into focus the nature of learned traditions
both oral and written in medieval Scandinavia and
the interpretation and re-interpretation of them over time.
Theoretical frameworks for understanding Old Norse literature is
the initial topic of the collection, which then moves on to present
recent work on Old Norse myth and society; current perspectives on
oral traditions in performance and text; and reflections on
medieval ideas about language, both vernacular and Latin. The
collection is rounded off by a section on prolonged traditions
the transformation of local and imported traditions into
new literary forms. Individual essays in the volume offer
significant primary research as well as reconsiderations of key
issues in scholarship, their subjects ranging widely, both
conceptually and chronologically, around the twin themes of
learning and understanding. Like the research of the volumes
honorand, Margaret Clunies Ross, Learning and Understanding in
the Old Norse World exemplifies the diversity and vigour of
current research in the field of Old Norse and draws together
philological, literary, historical and anthropological perspectives
on the subject.
