«Two Viking Romances» is a volume of two Viking romances translated by Hermann Palsson and Paul Edwards: Penguin Classics, paperback, 96 pages, in English.
The book brings together «Bosi and Herraud» and «Egil and Asmund», two tales written around 1300. Against the realism of the Icelandic sagas, they present gods, heroes, trolls, kings and warriors; they mix folklore, mythology and legends with a desire to entertain and transport the reader to an imaginary world of Vikings, beyond history and geography.
The original authorship is anonymous. Both tales come from the collection «Seven Viking Romances» and this edition belongs to the Penguin 60s Classics series.
For readers of medieval Norse literature, mythology and fantasy, and for those interested in the Penguin 60s Classics series.
Paul Edwards was an Austrian-born American moral philosopher. He was the editor-in-chief of Macmillan's eight-volume Encyclopedia of Philosophy from 1967, and lectured at New York University, Brooklyn College and the New School for Social Research from the 1960s to the 1990s.
