Six 'new' essays on Norse mythology by the Swedish poet and scholar, Viktor Rydberg (1828-1895), translated into English for the first time. Representing half of the second volume of Rydberg's two-volume Undersökningar i Germanisk Mythologi, this work includes:
  • Later Germanic Myths, exploring aspects of their relationship to other Indo-European systems.
  • Towards the Baldur Myth, an analysis of the proto Indo-European myth of the Divine Twins, and an investigation of Baldur and Hödur's character in the North.
  • Hárbarðsljóð, a case for identifying the famous ferryman of the Eddaic lay with Thor's rival, the cunning Loki.
  • Brisingamen's Smiths, an examination of the nature of dwarves in Norse mythology and folklore.
  • An Overview of the Mythic Epic, a complete chronological outline of the mythic events preserved in the Eddas and elsewhere, based on Rydberg's comprehensive study of the Germanic source material.
