Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This second part in the three-volume translation of Heimskringla includes the life of Olafr Haraldsson, king of Norway from 1015 until his fall in the battle of Stiklarstadir in 1030, and the subsequent beginnings of the cult that established him as patron saint of the Northern lands. Following the practice of the Islenzk fornrit edition on which the translation is based, it also includes passages from Snorri's earlier version of the king's life, the so-called Separate Saga of St Olafr, where these are not reproduced in the Heimskringla version. Comparison of these passages with the Heimskringla version gives an insight into Snorri's working practices, showing how the Separate saga was adapted for inclusion in the compendium. The Prologue to the Separate saga, believed to be a later reworking of the Prologue to Heimskringla, is also included. As in Volume I, the Introduction is by Alison Finlay, who also translated the verses. The prose has been translated by Anthony Faulkes. The second part of Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla, history of the kings of Norway, dealing with the life of King Olafr Haraldsson (St Olaf), and culminating in his death at the battle of Stiklastadir in 1030.

A furious and distraught Bjorn seeks retribution against his former friend but is killed in a heroic battle against Thord and twenty-four of his warriors.Finlay's acclaimed translation of 14th and 17th century manuscripts, comprehensive introduction and extensive notes of this much neglected text also surveys the saga genre and investigates its relationship with other European literature.…
