The Relation of the Hrolfs Saga Kraka and the Bjarkarimur to Beowulf (Dodo Press)
Автор:Oscar Ludvig Olson Год: 2007 Издание:Книга по Требованию Страниц: 116 ISBN: 9781406532005 This book is "the result of an investigation that has grown out of a study of Beowulf. The investigation has been prosecuted mainly with a view to ascertaining as definitely as possible the relationship between the Anglo-Saxon poem and the Hrolfs Saga Kraka, and has involved special consideration of two portions of the saga, namely, the B[o. ]?vars?attr, and the Fro?a?attr, and such portions of the early literature in England and the Scandinavian countries as seem to bear some relationship to the stories contained in these two portions of the saga. Some of the results achieved may seem to be outside the limits of the main theme. But they are not without value in this connection, for they throw light on the manner in which the Hrolfssaga and some of the other compositions in question came to assume the form in which we now find them. Thus these results assist us in determining the extent to which the saga and the Bjarkarimur are related to Beowulf."
