Book Description

Essays bringing out the richness of the hitherto neglected Charlemagne tradition in medieval Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Wales and Ireland. The reception of the Charlemagne legends among Nordic and Celtic communities in the Middle Ages is a shared story of transmission, translation, an exploration of national identity, and the celebration of imperialism. The articles brought together here capture for the first time the richness of the Charlemagne tradition in medieval Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Wales and Ireland and its coherence as a series of adaptations of Old French chansons de geste. Emerging from the French sources is a set of themes which unite the linguistically different Norse and Celtic Charlemagne traditions. The ideology of the Crusades, the dichotomy of Christian and heathen elements, the values of chivalry and the ideals of kingship are among the preoccupations common to both traditions. While processes of manuscript transmission are distinctive to each linguistic context, the essential function of the legends as explorations of political ideology, emotion, and social values creates unity across the language groups. From the Old Norse Karlamagnús saga to the Irish and Welsh narratives, the chapters present a coherent set of perspectives on the northern reception of the Charlemagne legends beyond the nation of England.

Editorial Reviews

Review

THIS ATTRACTIVE, well-produced volume is part of a larger series - 'Charlemagne: A European Icon'. This is a rich and useful collection that will serve as a reference point for scholars. ― CAMBRIAN MEDIEVAL CELTIC STUDIES

This volume provides varied and productive insights into the interests and processes underlying the adaptation and translation of French Charlemagne material in Scandinavia, Ireland and Wales, as well as furnishing readers with the fundamental details of manuscript transmission and much information on manuscript context. ― SAGA-BOOK

The editors deserve praise not only for the informative introduction, but also for the clever compilation and the editing of the individual contributions. The fact that a well-founded overview of "The Norse and Celtic Charlemagne" is now possible is in itself a great merit of the book. ― SPECULUM
