Descriere

The existing manuscripts of Old Norse mythology were written mainly by Christians, obscuring the pre-Christian oral histories. This book assembles comparisons from a range of analytical perspectives examining the similarities and differences of the Old Norse mythologies with the myths of other cultures and within the Old Norse corpus itself.
