Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Frithiof´s Saga: From the Swedish of Esaias Tegnér Bishop of Wexio Tegner presents the curious situation in literature of a writer who, although his chief work has been rendered a score of times into English, is still not widely known in England and America. This has been due partly to the rarity of most of the translations. The first seven, for instance, had so limited a circulation that Muckleston, who made the eighth in 1862, did not know of the existence of any previous one when he sent his own manuscript to the press. The American-Scandinavian Foundation hopes through this volume to make Tegner more easily accessible to those who cannot read him in the original. He is the one Swedish poet to whose works all his compatriots will at once accord a place among Scandinavian classics. The translation of the Frithiof´s Saga here printed is that of the Rev. W. L. Blackley, Dublin, 1857. It was reprinted once before in this country, by Bayard Taylor, in 1867, - the first version of the Swedish work to appear in the United States. The Children of the Lords´ Supper is from Longfellow´s Ballads and Other Poems, Cambridge, 1842. Both translations are faithful reproductions of their originals.
