A propos de cet article

Circa 2012 edition. Fine facsimile softcover of the first English language edition from William Pickering - Stassin and Xavier of Paris and New York. Translated from the original Danish into English verse. 1845 date at title page and introduction. Dedicated by permission to H. M. the King of Denmark. Large, 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" design. Beige wraps w/several color bars, cover and spine titles, light shelf wear. Pages fine. Bind fine. Near fine softcover. Part of the Hard Press Classics Series of facsimile printings of hard to find and rare books. Arranged in thirty cantos, this epic poem is a lyrical tale of the ancient Nordic gods. Adam Gottlob Oehlenschläger (14 November 1779 - 20 January 1850) was a Danish poet and playwright. He introduced romanticism into Danish literature. No Danish writer before 1870 has exercised so wide an influence as Oehlenschläger. His great work was to awaken in the breasts of his countrymen an enthusiasm for the poetry and religion of their ancestors, and this he performed to so complete an extent that his name remains synonymous with Scandinavian romance. In 1829 he was publicly crowned with laurel as the "king of Nordic poetry" and the "Scandinavian King of Song" (by Bishop Esaias Tegnér, who would be his Swedish parallel) in the cathedral of Lund, Sweden, based on a vast production of poetry, theatre plays and prose. He was inspired by many including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Gottlieb Fichte, and Friedrich von Schelling. Includes contents of the cantos, a glossary of Norse gods, a preface by W. E. Frye, the letter of gratitude by Frye to the King of Denmark, and a twenty-one page Notes and Elucidations section. Frye also published translations from German and Swedish, as well as translating from Danish to French and German to Italian. 372 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
