Description

This book introduces modern scholars to the medieval ballad tradition of the Faroe Islands—ballads which are still sung and danced today. In particular, it brings together up-to-the-minute scholarly perspectives on both the medieval and contemporary aspects of the group of ballads concerned with the renowned figure, Sigurðr the Dragon-Slayer. The volume integrates discussion of the Faroese material into key scholarly debates in Old Norse and medieval studies, and considers the ballads’ significance in Faroese society, today. Taking in discussions of the manuscript, musicological, and dance contexts of the ballads, the book also explores the contributions of E. M. Smith-Dampier to the field in English in the early twentieth century, and gender role depiction in the ballads. The book provides a fresh overview of the Faroese tradition’s development and reception, arguing for its importance to wider scholarly debate.
