Content:
A formal and functional study of the three meters of Old Norse eddic poetry, fornyrðislag, málaháttr, and ljóðaháttr, this book provides their systematic account (synchronic,diachronic, and from a comparative Germanic perspective). With thorough data presentation, detailed philological analysis, and sophisticated linguistic explanation, it will be of interest to Germanic philologists/linguists, medievalists, and metrists of all persuasions.
