St. Oswald of Northumbria: Continental Metamorphoses : with an Edition and Translation of Ósvalds Saga and Van Sunte Oswaldo Deme KonningheThis book is a study of the development of the legend of St Oswald, whose cult flourished in medieval Germany. The earliest German Oswald legend, known solely in Icelandic translation, gave rise to a conversion/martyr legend with a bridal-quest narrative and a bridal-quest romance in which the saint no longer dies a martyr. The study of the continental legend of St Oswald is accompanied by an edition and translation of Óswalds saga, which represents the oldest vernacular legend on the continent, and an edition and translation of Van sunte Oswaldo deme konninghe, an abbreviated Low German legend deriving ultimately from the earliest version known solely in Icelandic translation. --book cover. |
