Description
The interplay between, on the one hand, the Christian and Latin culture of the Church in the early Middle Ages, and, on the other, the traditional and pagan culture of the Germanic peoples, has always been a theme of fundamental importance in the study of Old Germanic. In the interpretation of literary works, the stress laid upon Germanic paganism in particular has over the years tended to vary, in proportion to the inclinations of individual scholars and to prevailing circumstances. At the present time, as the contributions to the present book testify, scholars evince very considerable circumspection before advancing claims for pagan elements in the cultural products of the various Old Germanic peoples. Nonetheless, the subject remains a fascinating one for all students of these early vernacular literatures.
