Jeffrey Scott Love, The Reception of “Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks” from the Middle Ages to the Seventeenth Century, Munich
I am a virgin woman and a virgin woman’s child« Critical Plant Theory and the Maiden Mother Conceit in Early Medieval Riddles
While early medieval riddles in Old English and, to a lesser extent, Latin, have been studied extensively from ecocritical perspectives in recent years, the large corpora of riddles in other languages of western Eurasia have yet to benefit from or feed back into these methodological developments. Meanwhile, ecocritical research generally has focused on animals at the expense of plants. We respond to both problems by providing the first extensive …
Latin and Hebrew Analogues to The Old Norse Leek Riddle
