DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Original Poems With Translations From Scandinavian and Other Poets Of the Translations, some are of poems already rendered into English, and well known. But my object has been to gather into one volume such specimens of the Poetry of the North and South, translated by myself, as might show those differences which spring from diversity of race, temperament, and climate, and yet exhibit that unfailing bond of brotherhood, whereby the Poet-heart every where recognizes truth, and love, and the beautiful, and a higher life than ours is here.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe handbook is not tied to a particular methodology but keeps in principle to a pronounced methodological pluralism, encompassing all aspects of actual methodology. Moreover it combines diachronic with synchronic-systematic aspects, longitudinal sections with cross-sections (periods such as Old Norse, transition from Old Norse to Early Modern Nordic, Early Modern Nordic 1550-1800 and so on). The description of Nordic language history is built upon a comprehensive collection of linguistic data; it consists of more than 200 articles written by a multitude of authors from Scandinavian and German and English speaking countries. The organization of the book combines a central part on the detailed chronological developments and some chapters of a more general character: chapters on theory and methodology in the beginning and on overlapping spatio-temporal topics in the end.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnique and beautiful, Beowulf brings to life a society of violence and honor, fierce warriors and bloody battles, deadly monsters and famous swords. Written by an unknown poet in about the eighth century, this masterpiece of Anglo-Saxton literature transforms legends, myth, history, and ancient songs into the richly colored tale of the hero Beowulf, the loathsome man-eater Grendel, his vengeful water-hag mother, and a treasure-hoarding dragon. The earliest surviving epic poem in any modern European language. Beowulf is a stirring portrait of a heroic world–somber, vast, and magnificent.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWords from the Ancestors, in paperback, more than a simple anthology, is a poetic expression of a world-view, a philosophy, and a way-of-life that all at once honour the past, acknowledge the present and embrace the future. With highly distilled, alliterative form, rich in symbolism and allegory, this volume embodies decades of learning and contemplation of the indigenous cultures of ancient Europe. Rooted in the land and within the ancient cultures, yet, full of insight still every bit as much applicable to life in the modern day; and by which even to inspire future generations. Dano Hammer's poetry expresses an ancient and timeless wisdom alongside a boundless hope for the future. Dano Hammer is a writer, poet, singer and rapper, musician, artist and craftsman living on Salt Spring Island, in British Columbia, Canada.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRestoration and Eighteenth-Century Poetry 1660-1780, originally published in 1981, considers poetry written between 1660 and 1780, a period which, although largely recovered from its nineteenth-century reputation, still attracts widely varying critical responses. Abandoning the old labels such as ‘neoclassicism’, ‘romanticism’ and ‘sensibility’, the author focuses on descriptions of genres and their formal elements and traces the broader patterns of literary and historical change running through the period. Eric Rothstein describes different poetic modes- panegyric, satire, pastoral and topographical poetry, the epistle, and the ode- to suggest their aesthetical possibilities as well as their process of change. He also considers style and the uses of the past, topics which have often caused particular problems for the students of the period. What becomes clear is the extraordinary originality, flexibility and power with which Restoration and eighteenth-century poets handles the stylistic assumptions and the body of poems they inherited and employed in their own works.
