The Saxon And The Norseman: Or A Plea For The Study Of Icelandic Conjointly With Anglo-Saxon (1876) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104505332)

""The Saxon and the Norseman: Or A Plea for the Study of Icelandic Conjointly with Anglo-Saxon"" is a book written by Frederick Metcalfe and published in 1876. The book argues for the importance of studying Icelandic literature and language in conjunction with Anglo-Saxon studies. Metcalfe believes that the two cultures are closely related and that the study of Icelandic literature can provide valuable insights into Anglo-Saxon culture and history. The book includes historical and literary analysis of both cultures, as well as translations of Icelandic sagas and other texts. It is intended for scholars and students of Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic studies, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of these two fascinating cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
