This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together Old Norse-Icelandic literature and critical strategies of memory, and argues that some of the particularities of this vernacular textual tradition are explained by the fact that this literature derives from, represents, and incorporates into its designs mnemonic devices of different kinds. Even if Old Norse-Icelandic manuscript culture is relatively silent about the mnemonic context of the literature, the texts themselves exhibit multiple reminiscences of memory. By showing that this literature reveals glimpses of mnemonic technologies at the same time as it testifies to a cultural memory, this study demonstrates how ‘the past’, and narrative traditions about the past, were constructed in a dynamic relationship with ideas that existed at the time the texts were written. Moreover, the book deals with the function of memory in early book-culture, with metaphors of memory, and with mnemonic cues such as spatiality and visuality. With its new readings of canonical texts like the Íslendingasǫgur, the Prose Edda and selected eddic poems, as well as of less widely studied branches of Old Norse-Icelandic literature, such as the sagas of bishops and religious texts, this book will be of interest to Old Norse scholars and to scholars interested in medieval Scandinavia and memory studies.

Book excerpt: As in fairy tales of old, Anya and Miles is the legend of two young hearts who lived long ago. Amid betrayal and revenge, Book One sets the stage for the beginning of Anya and Miles' journey where the two meet as children at the county fair. But where Miles lives in a castle training as a young boy to become a knight, Anya is but a sheep herder's daughter whose family is beholden to the liens of the king. Set in 13thC Somerset, Anya, chosen as the healer's apprentice, must be tutored in the isolated forest, a place forbidden by the suspicious townsfolk. A peasant girl of unsurpassed beauty Anya is taught the secrets of life-healing herbs. In a castle not far from the forest, Miles aspires to be 'the greatest knight in all of England.' Excelling in archery and swordsmanship, the handsome black-haired squire seeks the advice of Merevin, who assures the Sir-to-be Miles this is his Destiny. But an ill-fated event caused by the dark governess Miss Blancbaston, causes Miles to again meet the lovely Anya, and true Destiny is uncertain.
