Description
Tegner wrote Sweden's great national epic poem, Fritiofs Saga. Its hero is Fritiof, a bold sea rover of the old North. The poem follows his love, his exile, and his voyages. Norse gods and old temples frame the action. Balder's temple holds a key place in the story.
This volume is a school edition of the Swedish text. Andrew Stomberg edited it for American students. His introduction places the poem in Swedish literature. A bibliography, notes, and a full vocabulary support the reading. The notes explain the many mythic names in the verse. Students get the poem itself plus the tools to read it in Swedish. The edition served colleges and high schools alike.
