Description

Explore the rich world of medieval Scandinavian verse with Old Norse Poetry in Performance. Part of the Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies series, this book offers a deep look into how eddic and skaldic poems were actually experienced. Instead of just reading text on a page, this study investigates the surviving evidence of how these poems were recited or performed at royal courts across Europe and within Iceland. This volume addresses the difficult task of reconstructing medieval performance styles using the modern discipline of Performance Studies. It applies these contemporary methods to the fragmentary corpus of Old Norse verse, providing a fresh way to understand historical oral traditions. Readers will gain insight into how verse was performed by characters within the Old Icelandic saga tradition, making it an essential resource for students and scholars of theatre, history, and medieval studies.
