A trio of Scotsmen - the writer Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832), antiquarian Robert Jamieson (1772–1844) and literary scholar Henry William Weber (1783–1818) - decided to contribute to this field by bringing together their work on 'romances' from the Old German, Danish, Swedish and Icelandic languages, claiming that these poems and tales 'offer a new and interesting subject of speculation to the English reader'. In this volume, published in 1814, each editor contributes a related scholarly essay, but the bulk of the book is taken up with the translated tales, including the German Song of the Nibelungen. This work is an important early contribution by leading Scots scholars to the study and dissemination of such Northern European literary forms.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eOn the antient Teutonic poetry and romance Henry Weber\u003cbr\u003e Das Heldenbuch Henry Weber\u003cbr\u003e Der Nibelungen Lied Henry Weber\u003cbr\u003e Die Klage Henry Weber\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Popular heroic and romantic ballads, translated from the Northern languages, with notes and illustrations Robert Jamieson\u003cbr\u003e Abstract of the Eyrbiggia-Saga, being the early annals of that district of Iceland lying around the promontory called Snaefells Walter Scott\u003cbr\u003e Glossary Robert Jamieson.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266041958680,"sku":"9781108034807","price":42.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108034807i.jpg?v=1694873808","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/illustrations-of-northern-antiquities-from-the-earlier-teutonic-and-scandinavian-romances-being-an-abstract-of-the-book-of-heroes-and-nibelungen-lay-paperback-9781108034807","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
