Abstract
This collection of eleven essays has its origins in a conference held in Aberdeen in 2009 on the topic “Myth and Theory in the Old Norse World”. The organizers, editors of the present volume, invited participants to address the question “What are the theoretical and methodological foundations on which we base our work, in our attempts to understand the Old Norse myths and mythological world” (1). As the editors acknowledge, and the reader may regret, essayists were given a free hand and most contributions avoid comment on theory and evaluate method only implicitly in their studies of individual texts, gods, other supernatural beings, and ritual sites.
