Although there are regional, linguistic and formal differences, one can observe a number of similarities. Oral literature disseminates a range of themes that are shared by narratives in most parts of the continent. In all the European regions, this tradition of heroic narration came into contact with Christianity, which led to modifications. Similar processes of adaptation and transformation can be traced everywhere in this field of early European vernacular narrative. But with the increasing specialization of academic fields over the last half century, inter-disciplinary dialogue has become increasingly difficult. The volume is a contribution to renew the inter-disciplinary dialogue about common themes, topics and motifs in Nordic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic literature, and about the different methodologies to explore them.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 170mmItem Weight: 898gContributor: Victor Millet (Edited by), Heike Sahm (Edited by)Author: Victor MilletGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Ergänzungsbände zum Reallexikon der Germanischen AltertumskundeTopic: Arts & PhotographyType: History & CriticismRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
