Snorri Sturluson: Heimskringla: Volume II -- Olafr Haraldsson (The Saint) by Ali

Description: Snorri Sturluson: Heimskringla by Alison Finlay, Anthony Faulkes Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The second part of Snorri Sturlusons Heimskringla, history of the kings of Norway, dealing with the life of King Olafr Haraldsson (St Olaf), and culminating in his death at the battle of Stiklastadir in 1030. Publisher Description This second part in the three-volume translation of Heimskringla includes the life of Óláfr Haraldsson, king of Norway from 1015 until his fall in the battle of Stiklarstaðir in 1030, and the subsequent beginnings of the cult that established him as patron saint of the Northern lands. Following the practice of the Íslenzk fornrit edition on which the translation is based, it also includes passages from Snorris earlier version of the kings life, the so-called Separate Saga of St Óláfr, where these are not reproduced in the Heimskringla version. Comparison of these passages with the Heimskringla version gives an insight into Snorris working practices, showing how the Separate saga was adapted for inclusion in the compendium. The Prologue to the Separate saga, believed to be a later reworking of the Prologue to Heimskringla, is also included. As in Volume I, the Introduction is by Alison Finlay, who also translated the verses. The prose has been translated by Anthony Faulkes.
