This study also engages with the challenge of reconstructing medieval performance styles and examines ways of applying the modern discipline of Performance Studies to the fragmentary corpus of Old Norse verse. The performance of verse by characters who appear in the Old Icelandic saga tradition is also considered, as is the cultural value associated not only with the poems themselves but with their various means of transmission and reception.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the fields of Old Norse studies, Performance and Theatre History.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian McMahon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367408309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367408305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Brian McMahon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057157828863,"sku":"9780367408305","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0213ff5c-cb38-41a7-8304-7f9646bba8c9.jpg?v=1685045368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-norse-poetry-in-performance-brian-mcmahon-9780367408305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
