Ross has also contributed significantly to the scholarship of Anglo-Saxon literature and Australian Aboriginal studies, but the 20 essays here celebrate her work in Old Norse literature by discussing theoretical frameworks, myth and society, oral traditions in performance and text, vernacular and Latin theories of language, and prolonged traditions. Among specific topics are reading Eyrbyggia Saga in light of contemporary conflicts, skaldic poetry and performance, the notion of effeminate language, and an Albanian hero in Icelandic clothing. Quotations are followed by English translation. A bibliography of Ross' publications is included, but no index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Company.
