Corpus Poeticum Boreale V2 is a book that contains a collection of Old Norse poetry from the earliest times to the thirteenth century. The poetry in this book is written in the old northern tongue, which is a language that was spoken in Scandinavia during the Viking Age. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing the court poetry of Gudbrand and the second part containing the poetry of Vigfusson. The court poetry of Gudbrand is a collection of poems that were written for the courts of the Viking kings and chieftains. These poems are characterized by their formal structure and elevated language, and they often deal with heroic themes and the exploits of the Viking warriors. The poetry of Vigfusson, on the other hand, is more varied in its themes and styles. It includes poems about love, nature, and everyday life, as well as more traditional heroic and mythological themes. Overall, Corpus Poeticum Boreale V2 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the literature and culture of the Viking Age.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
