Product Description
Cold Counsel: The Women of Old Norse Literature and Myth is the only collection devoted to the place of women in Old Norse literature and culture. It draws upon the disciplines of history, sociology, feminism, ethnography, and psychoanalysis in order to raise fresh questions about such new subjects as gender, class, sexuality, family structure, and ideology in medieval Iceland.
Reader Reviews
"Cold Counsel" is an outstanding collection of essays on Norse women. I found many of the articles thought-provoking and informative. It's still very difficult to find good information on Viking Age women - some of the best research is only published as journal articles, and it's only in the past 4-5 years that books on the topic of Norse women have begun to appear. This volume is fairly expensive, but very well worth it for anyone studying women in the Viking Age. Articles include: (1) Introduction: "og eru köld kvenna ráð"; (2) "En hon er blandin mjök": Women and Insults in Old Norse Literature; (3) Hildigunnr's Lament; (4) Women's Voices in Old Norse Literature: The Case of Trójumanna saga; (5) Taming the Shrew: The Rise of Patriarchy and the Subordination of the Feminine in Old Norse Literature; (6) The Re-emergence of Women's Voices in Icelandic Literature, 1500-1800; (7) Vikings Westward to Vinland: The Problem of Women; (8) "Þegi Þú, Þórr!": Gender, Class, and Discourse in Þrymskviða; (9) Fathers, Mothers, and Daughters: "Hver er að ráða?"; (10) A Good Day's Work: Laxdoela saga, ch. 49; (11) Women's Counsel in the Riddarasögur: The Case of Parcevals saga; (12) The Woman Who Knows: Female Characters of Eyrbyggja saga; (13) Male Bonding, Female Body: The Absenting of Woman in "Bisclaretz ljóð"; (14) Ambiguously Gendered: The Skalds Jórunn, Auðr and Steinunn; (15) Women Outside: Discourse of Community in Hávamál; (16) Saga World and Nineteenth-Century Iceland: The Case of Women Farmers.
