Alaric Hall deposited ‘I am a virgin woman and a virgin woman’s child’: critical plant theory and the maiden mother conceit in early medieval riddles in the group
Early Medieval on Humanities Commons 5 years agoWhile early medieval riddles in Old English and, to a lesser extent, Latin, have been studied extensively from ecocritical perspectives in recent years, the large corpora of riddles in other languages of western Eurasia have yet to benefit from or feed back into these methodological developments. Meanwhile, ecocritical research generally has…[Read more]

Alaric Hall deposited Latin and Hebrew analogues to the Old Norse leek-riddle on Humanities Commons 5 years ago
It has been thought that of the forty or so surviving Old Norse riddles, only two have close parallels in the wider international riddle tradition. This note shows, however, that the riddle on the leek in the probably thirteenth-century Heiðreks saga has a close parallel in one of the late antique or early medieval Bern Riddles, on garlic.…[Read more]

Nelson Goering deposited The Terrible Bite of Fire: Metre, Sound Change, and Emendation in Beowulf 1122 in the group
Old English / Early Medieval England on Humanities Commons 5 years, 1 month agoLine 1122 of Beowulf represents a problem where the findings of metrics, historical phonology, and the reading of the manuscript are in conflict with one another. I revive and adapt Tolkien’s proposal to emend lāðbite līċes līġ ealle forswealg to lāðbite līġes līċ eall forswealg “the cruel bite of fire swallowed up the entire bodies”. This…[Read more]

Alaric Hall deposited Jarlmanns saga og Hermanns: A Translation on Humanities Commons 5 years, 1 month ago
Agnete Lothʼs edition of the longer version of Jarlmanns saga og Hermanns included an accompanying English paraphrase (by Gillian Fellows Jensen), but there has never been a full translation into English, much less of the shorter version as edited by Hugo Rydberg. We rectify that omission here, providing a normalized text of Rydbergʼs edition w…[Read more]

Nelson Goering deposited Old Saxon unmet, Genesis B 313b ungemet, and unmetrical scribal forms in Germanic alliterative verse in the group
Old English / Early Medieval England on Humanities Commons 5 years, 1 month agoThe adverb ungemete, unigmetes in Beowulf and elsewhere in Old English verse creates significant metrical problems. I revive and expand the proposal of Fulk (1992) to read this as *unmet. This restoration receives support from metrics and from the comparison with Old Saxon unmet of the same meaning, and the alteration to ungemet(e), etc., in the…[Read more]

Nelson Goering deposited Eduard Sievers’ Altgermanisch Metrik 125 years on in the group
Old English / Early Medieval England on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoEduard Sievers’ Altgermanische Metrik remains a foundational work for Germanic metrical research, even 125 years after its publication in 1893. His impact on the field may be roughly divided into three broad approaches: 1) the impulse for the typological categorization and labelling of verses; 2) the four-position principle as the basis for a…[Read more]
