Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Northern Studies The new interest that has grown up lately among us here in England, in the history and literature of the North, is remarkable. One of the three first of our living English poets has thrown the whole weight of his poetry into the revival, with characteristic energy, and his Sigurd the Volsung serves well to typify what it was that first drew us to the fresh ground offered by the North to the imagination. It was, I suppose, with a certain romantic sense of the past represented by the heroic figure of Sigurd, that most of us first turned to the poetry of Norway and its fellow countries. But our interest is clearly leading us a long way when it brings us from Sigurd the Volsung to the modern Dr. Stockmann, of Ibsen´s En Folkefiende, and to other such types of the contemporary Norseman. Indeed some critics, like Mr. Robert Buchanan, who have loved the romantic North not a little, resent greatly that the law of painful development from old to new should be at work here too. It is a wiser spirit surely, that, recognising fully all the old romance, and making much of the past, has yet wished to face the present, and has given us these Northern Studies, in which we find traced with so much sympathy and charm some of the modern developments of Scandinavian literature. The growth and movement of Dano-Norwegian poetry, and its readjustment under modern, difficult conditions, have a closer interest for us in some ways than the changes in any other literature of modern Europe. Volsung and Niblung, Warrior and Viking and Skald, Norseman and Dane, were, as we remember, our forefathers.
