It includes contributions from various scholars discussing topics such as the aesthetic expressions of nature in skaldic verse, the role of trees in saga literature, and legal perspectives on nature in historical law codes. The book also addresses the environmental threats depicted in the sagas, exploring how premodern Scandinavian societies perceived and dealt with environmental challenges. The editors aim to offer insights into the historical roots of contemporary ecological issues by analyzing medieval texts and cultural practices. This scholarly work is intended for researchers and students interested in environmental humanities, medieval studies, and Scandinavian culture.$7Generated by AI. 410 4$aThe North Atlantic World Series 517 $aEcocriticism and Old Norse Studies 606 $aEcocriticism$7Generated by AI 606 $aOld Norse literature$7Generated by AI 615 0$aEcocriticism 615 0$aOld Norse literature 676 $a839.600936 700 $aHennig$b Reinhard$01789015 701 $aLethbridge$b Emily$01789016 701 $aSchulte$b Michael$0224085 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910978074203321 996 $aEcocriticism and Old Norse Studies$94324371 997 $aUNINA
