Excerpt from The Story of Horn and Rimenhild
Eh, HR is a very sophisticated product. While the former has only some short lines, the latter comprises about alexandrines. In tone HR is courtly and feudal, in style elaborate and refined. It is fashioned in the guise of an epic chanson de geste, and contains abundant evidence of having been composed by a well-informed, cultivated, and pious man for the upper classes of anglo-norman society.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and evolution of the medieval narrative poem known as the Horn and Rimenhild saga through a comprehensive analysis of its extant versions in Middle English and Old French. The author argues that the story originated not in England, as commonly believed, but on the Isle of Man and was based on Norse traditions. By examining the names of characters, geographical references, and cultural practices depicted in the poems, the author traces the story's development and transformation as it passed from Norse to Anglo-Norman hands, highlighting linguistic and thematic changes along the way. This meticulous study offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of oral tradition, cultural exchange, and literary adaptation in medieval Europe, and sheds new light on the rich tapestry of medieval storytelling.
