The medieval northern world, spanning from Greenland to Novgorod, was a vast and culturally diverse region that experienced a late conversion to Christianity. Old Norse Folklore delves into the complexities of this world through case studies and theoretical essays, connecting orality and performance theory to memory studies and exploring myths related to pre-Christian Nordic religion and innovations within late medieval pilgrimage song culture. This volume presents critical new perspectives on the Old Norse world, some of which are introduced for the first time in English. Stephen A. Mitchell employs emerging methodologies to analyze Old Norse materials, offering a deeper understanding of these sources. He examines, interprets, and re-interprets medieval data, including myths, legends, riddles, charms, court culture, conversion narratives, landscapes, and mindscapes, focusing on often overlooked but significant cultural insights.
