| This volume brings together twenty-one articles by Matthew Driscoll, Professor of Old Norse Philology at the University of Copenhagen, written between 1991 and 2024. The articles have previously appeared in journals, anthologies, handbooks, companions and festschrifts and deal for the most part with literary production, dissemination and reception in Iceland in the Middle Ages and what may be termed the â late pre-modernâ period, roughly from the advent of print in the early sixteenth century to the establishment of the Icelandic State Broadcasting Service in the early twentieth century. The twenty-one articles are divided into the following subject areas: RÃmur and other poetry: â The cloak of fidelity: SkikkjurÃmurâ (1991); â Words, words, words: Textual variation in SkikkjurÃmurâ (1997); â HerdÃs & à lÃna: The poetry of everyday lifeâ (2019); â RÃmurâ (2024) Fornaldarsögur/Riddarasögur/Lygisögur: â Late prose fictionâ (2005); â Skanderbegâ (2007); â Plans for a new edition of the fornaldarsögur, anno 1937â (2008); â A new edition of the fornaldarsögur Norðurlandaâ (2009); â LÃkafrón og lagsmenn tveirâ (2009); â Arthurian ballads, rÃmur, chapbooks and folktalesâ (2011); â Gellertâ s Gräfin in Icelandâ (2018); â The French connectionâ (2019) Lucian and Gedula: â The best medicine in the bitterest of herbs: An eighteenth-century moral taleâ (2008); â Lucian and Gedulaâ (2016); â Lucian og Gedula: The missing linkâ (2021) Manuscripts and textual scholarship: â Postcards from the edge: An overview of marginalia in Icelandic manuscriptsâ (2004); â The words on the page: Thoughts on philology, old and newâ (2010); â Whatâ s truth got to do with it? Views on the historicity of the sagasâ (2012); â The long and winding road: Manuscript culture in late pre-modern Icelandâ (2013); â The Rev. James Johnstone, septentrionalist and man of mysteryâ (2019); â Finnur Jónsson, editor of everythingâ (2022). |
