The Prose Contexts of Eddic Poetry Primarily in the Fornaldarsǫgur
Helen F. Leslie
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the following questions:
1. What is the role of eddic verse in its prose contexts, primarily in the fornaldarsǫgur?
2. What is the probable status of the long prosimetric form in oral and written Old Norse literature, primarily in the fornaldarsǫgur?
And thirdly, what the above can tell us about the evolutionary relationship of verse and prose in the Old Norse literature. The texts that are the focus of this study are prosimetra – prose texts that include verse.
