Old Norse-Icelandic Literature A Short Introduction (Paperback; )

Heather O'Donoghue's Old Norse-Icelandic Literature A Short Introduction (ISBN ). Heather O’Donoghue is Reader in Old Norse at Oxford University. She is regular contributor to the Times Literary Supplement. From runic inscriptions to sagas, this books introduces readers to the rich fictional and historical world of Old Norse-Icelandic literature. It describes and illustrates not only the deceptively novelistic narratives of the renowned family sagas, but also the strange brilliance of Eddaic and skaldic verse; with its vivid mythological, heroic or courtly settings, and the variety of other kinds of Old Norse poetry and storytelling. An introduction outlining the language and culture of the Viking age, when Iceland was first settled, helps readers to appreciate the background against which this literature developed. The book acts as an introduction not only to Old-Norse Icelandic literature, but also to its reception through the ages and its influence on literature written in English. The author shows how a whole range of writers from William Blake to Seamus Heaney have drawn on this body of work, and how it relates to English literature of earlier periods; even Hamlet appears in Old Norse texts.

A Student's Introduction to English Grammar (Paperback - ). By: R. Huddleston & G K. Pullum. In Very Good Condition! No writing inside etc. Just finished my course and needs a new home. Official Description This groundbreaking undergraduate textbook on modern Standard English grammar is the first to be based on the revolutionary advances of the authors' previous work, The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (). The analyses defended there are outlined here more briefly, in an engagingly accessible and informal style. Errors of the older tradition of English grammar are noted and corrected, and the excesses of prescriptive usage manuals are firmly rebutted in specially highlighted notes that explain what older authorities have called 'incorrect' and show why those authorities are mistaken. This book is intended for students in colleges or universities who have little or no previous background in grammar, and presupposes no linguistics. It contains exercises, and will provide a basis for introductions to grammar and courses on the structure of English not only in linguistics departments but also in English language and literature departments and schools of education.
