This book offers a wide-ranging enquiry into the defining features of Old Norse wisdom, including the representation of wisdom in texts which cross traditional generic boundaries. It builds on recent advances in understanding of pre-Christian religion in Scandinavia, and calls on comparative and supporting work from several different disciplinary backgrounds (including literary theory, other medieval literatures and anthropology). \u003cem\u003eSpeaker and Authority\u003c\/em\u003e interrogates important questions about the concept of knowledge, as well as its role in medieval Scandinavian society and its broader European cultural context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brittany Erin Schorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110548178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110548174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Brittany Erin Schorn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136977613055,"sku":"9783110548174","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31352ef6-d2a3-404d-8a3e-49c595a9d549.jpg?v=1770165725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speaker-and-authority-in-old-brittany-erin-schorn-9783110548174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
