Oxford University Press (Publisher)

Book Description
Gender, Violence, and the Past in Edda and Saga is the first book to investigate
both the relation between gender and violence in the Old Norse Poetic Edda and
key family and contemporary sagas, and the interrelated nature of these genres.
Beginning with an analysis of eddaic attitudes to heroic violence and its
gendered nature through the figures of Gutrun and Helgi, the study broadens out
to the whole poetic compilation and how the past (and particularly the
mythological past) inflects the heroic present. This paves the way for a
consideration of the comparable relationship between the heroic poems themselves
and later reworkings of them or allusions
