This engrossing and superbly authoritative work explores one of the richest veins of world mythology, giving insights into a tradition that has provided the inspiration for over a thousand years of literature, from the poems of the Vikings to the sagas of the Icelanders to the novels of Tolkien. It describes in detail the principal myths and legends of the North, discusses the major literary sources, and sheds light on the pantheon of supernatural beings who populate Norse tales - gods and goddesses, giants and dwarfs, trolls and elves, beasts and monsters, heroes and villains. In addition, the dictionary looks at the historical and social background, addressing topics as diverse as burial rites, runes and sacrificial practices. Extensive quotations from Norse, Old English and Latin sources are included throughout the text, helping to give a sense of the vigorous imaginations that shaped the development of Norse myth and legend, and the dictionary also contains a wide range of illustrations. Scholarly yet accessible, this is an invaluably wide-ranging guide to an endlessly fascinating subject.
