This is evident in saga scholarship, where the book-prose ideology turned the issue of the origin of individual sagas into an issue of direct influences from other written works. This focus has methodological advantages, but it has also meant that valuable folkloristic knowledge has been neglected. The present volume targets the advantages, the problems and the methods of using folklore material and theory in Old Norse scholarship. An important theme in folklore is the encounter with the Supernatural and such stories are indeed common in saga literature. Generally, however, scholars have tended to focus on feuds and the social structure of the sagas, and less on encounters with Otherworld beings. In this volume, the supernatural themes in the sagas are discussed by means of several approaches, some folkloristic, some traditionally philological.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Daniel Sävborg"},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Karen Bek-Pedersen"}],"contributor":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Karen Bek-Pedersen"}],"dateCreated":"2015-02-18","dateModified":"2015-02-18","datePublished":"2014-01-01","headline":"Folklore in Old Norse - Old Norse in Folklore.

The twenty-two authors of this volume reveal the dynamism of this lively dialogue, which is characterized by a diversity of perspectives linking to different fields and national scholarships. The chapters open with a general overview of how the concepts of “folklore” and “mythology” have been understood and related across the history of Old Norse studies, which is followed by a group of chapters that discuss and present different approaches and types of source materials, with methodological and theoretical concerns. The interest in folklore is bound up with interests in practice and lived religion, which are brought into focus in a series of chapters relating to magic and ritual. Attention then turns to images that link to mythology and different mythic agents in studies that explore a variety of usage in meaning-making in different forms of cultural expression. The next group of studies spotlights motifs, with perspectives on synchronic usage across genres and different media, cross-cultural exchange, and long-term continuities. The volume culminates in discussions of complex stories, variously in oral traditions behind medieval sources and relationships between accounts found in medieval sources and those recorded from more recent traditions. Individually, the chapters variously offer reflexive and historical research criticism, new research frameworks, illustrative studies, and exploratory investigations. Collectively, they illustrate the rapidly evolving multidisciplinary discussion at the intersections of folklore and Old Norse mythology, where the transformative impacts were recently described as a paradigm shift. They open new paths for scholarly discussion with the potential to inspire future research.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Folklore and Old Norse Mythology (ed.

Saga scholars have in many cases come to the wrong conclusions from too narrow a focus on written texts contemporary with the Íslendingasǫgur. The interest in supernatural motifs is a characteristic feature of the “post-classical” Íslendingasǫgur. This is an important reason why they are usually seen as fundamentally different from the “classical” Íslendingasǫgur, whose realism is linked to an origin in oral tradition that was perceived as essentially historical. The “post-classical” sagas with their many fantastic motifs are in contrast seen as unhistorical, pure fiction, influenced primarily by written literature like fornaldarsǫgur and riddarasǫgur. Sometimes this is certainly correct. But in most “post-classical” Íslendingasǫgur such parallels are few and superficial. In the article some concrete examples from the sagas are given where late recorded legends seem to provide much better parallels than any contemporary saga text. My conclusion is that the time gap of c. 600 years should not prevent us from using these sources if they seem to be more conclusive than the contemporary ones. My conclusion also has consequences for the perception of Íslendingasǫgur in general. The view of the “post-classical” saga as bookish fiction which emerged under the influence of the written fornaldarsaga is hardly sustainable. Nor is the contrast between the supernatural orientation and the realism of the classical saga evident. The stories in the later legends about encounters with the supernatural were also seen as basically true, and these stories were part of the image people had of a real past. There is reason to believe that this also applied to many of the motifs of the “post-classical” sagas as well.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Scandinavian folk legends and Icelandic sagas","attachmentId":55026502,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/35164494/Scandinavian_folk_legends_and_Icelandic_sagas","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/35164494/Scandinavian_folk_legends_and_Icelandic_sagas"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="3" data-entity-id="70844391" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/70844391/Frog_and_Joonas_Ahola_eds_Folklore_and_Old_Norse_Mythology">Frog & Joonas Ahola (eds.): Folklore and Old Norse Mythology</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="186920892" href="https://helsinki.academia.edu/FolkloreFellowsCommunications">Folklore Fellows Communications</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="4021344" href="https://raa.academia.edu/LailaKitzler%C3%85hfeldt">Laila Kitzler Åhfeldt</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="4502198" href="https://helsinki.academia.edu/MrFrog">Mr Frog</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="5906255" href="https://hi.academia.edu/A%C3%B0alhei%C3%B0urGu%C3%B0mundsd%C3%B3ttir">Aðalheiður Guðmundsdóttir</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="2228650" href="https://uga.academia.edu/JosephSHopkins">Joseph S .

They open new paths for scholarly discussion with the potential to inspire future research.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Frog \u0026 Joonas Ahola (eds.): Folklore and Old Norse Mythology","attachmentId":80463072,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/70844391/Frog_and_Joonas_Ahola_eds_Folklore_and_Old_Norse_Mythology","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/70844391/Frog_and_Joonas_Ahola_eds_Folklore_and_Old_Norse_Mythology"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="4" data-entity-id="43137691" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/43137691/_Review_Supernatural_Encounters_in_Old_Norse_Literature_and_Tradition_ed_by_Daniel_S%C3%A4vborg_and_Karen_Bek_Pedersen">[Review] Supernatural Encounters in Old Norse Literature and Tradition ed. by Daniel Sävborg and Karen Bek-Pedersen</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="52541315" href="https://flinders.academia.edu/MatthewFirth">Matthew Firth</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Parergon, 2020</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Book Review.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"[Review] Supernatural Encounters in Old Norse Literature and Tradition ed. by Daniel Sävborg and Karen Bek-Pedersen","attachmentId":63396769,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/43137691/_Review_Supernatural_Encounters_in_Old_Norse_Literature_and_Tradition_ed_by_Daniel_S%C3%A4vborg_and_Karen_Bek_Pedersen","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/43137691/_Review_Supernatural_Encounters_in_Old_Norse_Literature_and_Tradition_ed_by_Daniel_S%C3%A4vborg_and_Karen_Bek_Pedersen"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="5" data-entity-id="35152022" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/35152022/Old_Norse_Mythology_Comparative_Perspectives">Old Norse Mythology—Comparative Perspectives</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="1219280" href="https://harvard.academia.edu/StephenMitchell">Stephen Mitchell</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2017</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Hermann, Pernille, Stephen A.

The origin of the various subgenera of sagas such as kings’ sagas, legendary sagas and chivalric sagas will all be discussed, alongside the transmission of skaldic poetry, the historicity of saga narratives and much more. In addition, a special focus will be put on the place of supernatural and Heathen motives in this literary tradition and how much faith can modern Pagans and Heathens have in these age-old tales.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"An Introduction to Norse-Icelandic Literature","attachmentId":57200715,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/37248047/An_Introduction_to_Norse_Icelandic_Literature","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/37248047/An_Introduction_to_Norse_Icelandic_Literature"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="1857464" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/1857464/Review_of_Old_Norse_Icelandic_Literature_A_Critical_Guide_Ed_Carol_J_Clover_and_John_Lindow">Review of Old Norse-Icelandic Literature: A Critical Guide.

The contributors focus on ›unwanted‹, illicit, neglected, and marginalised elements in saga literature and research on it. The chapters cover a wide range of intra-textual phenomena, narrative strategies, and understudied aspects of individual texts and subgenres. The analyses demonstrate the importance of deviance and transgression as literary characteristics of saga narration, as well as the discursive parameters that have been dominant in Saga Studies. The aim of this collection is to highlight the productiveness of developing modified methodological approaches to the sagas and their study, with a starting point in narratological considerations. Andreas Schmidt and Daniela Hahn are postdoctoral researchers, reading and teaching Old Icelandic literature from narratological perspectives. Both completed their PhDs in Scandinavian Studies at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. Following Bad Boys and Wicked Women (Münchner Nordistische Studien 27), this is their second co-edited collection of essays.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Unwanted.

Its findings are based on an exhaustive study of the numerous texts engaging with this subject, ranging from the Roman era to the publication of the Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus of Olaus Magnus in 1555. The thesis presents and analyses the most common supernatural motifs associated with this Far- Northern area, which include animal transformation, sorcery and pagan worship, as well as speculating about their origins, and analyzes the ways in which such ideas and images evolved, both over time and depending on the nature of the written sources in which they appear. The author argues that Northern Fenno-Scandinavia was thought of as a wild, supernatural and pagan land because of the differences in languages, ways of living and magical practices of its inhabitants, an image partially mirrored in literary texts, some of which are of considerable antiquity. The thesis also notes the way in which the supernatural images associated with the Sámi and Finnic peoples seem to have also become attached to the other Germanic-related people living in the north of Norway, who are also often depicted as supernatural “others” equipped with supernatural or magical skills in the literature.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Supernatural Image of Northern Fenno-Scandinavia in Pre-Modern Literature (MA Thesis in Old Norse Religion by Lyonel D.
