A useful great-grandmother: Edda receptions in post-medieval Germany
Dr. Lee has co-edited the collection in which this output appears, with a 3500-word introduction: seventeen essays on the post-Medieval reception and re-invention of the Germanic in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Scandinavia and Great Britain. It examines the uses to which the remote history of Germany has been put in popular and scholarly imagination since 1500. The seventeen essays show how various aspects of ancient Germanic language, religion, laws, music, and poetry have been re-imagined in Germany and beyond, in disciplines ranging from philology to popular literature, from theatre and art to history, from musical theory to regional culture.
