Editor's Note:
The rich and compelling corpus of Old Norse poetry is one of the most important and influential areas of medieval European literature, and much of it is attributable to women skalds. This book presents a bilingual edition (Old Norse and English) with commentary and notes of this material, from the ninth to the thirteenth century and beyond. The poems reflect the dramatic and often violent nature of the sagas: they feature Viking Age shipboard adventures and shipwrecks; prophecies; curses; declarations of love and of revenge; duels, feuds and battles; encounters with ghosts; marital and family discord; and religious insults, among many other topics. Their authors fall into four main categories: pre-Christian Norwegian and Icelandic skaldkonur of the Viking Age; Icelandic skaldkonur of the Sturlung Age (thirteenth century); additional early skaldkonur from the Islendingasogur and related material, not as historically verifiable as the first group; and mythical figures cited as reciting verse in the legendary sagas (fornaldarsogur).

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access Old Norse Women's Poetry: The Voices of Female Skalds (Library of Medieval Women) by Sandra Ballif Straubhaar. Crafted for the discerning reader.
