A tribute to Durham University professor John McKinnell's distinguished contributions to the field, this volume offers new insights in light of linguistic and archaeological evidence and a broad range of study with regard to both chronology and methodology."--pub. desc. 650 0 $a Old Norse literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Mythology, Norse, in literature. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature vieux norroise $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature anglaise $y ca 450-1100 (Vieil anglais) $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Mythologie nordique dans la litteÌrature. 700 1 $a McKinnell, John. 700 1 $a Anlezark, Daniel. 830 0 $a Toronto Old Norse and Icelandic studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105033909.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=35F39C0836A511E18647CC926AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
