    Lorin Renodeyn Historical Linguistics and Literature Studies Old Germanic Heritage In Metal Music A Comparative Study Of Present-day Metal Lyrics And Their Old Germanic Sources Promotor: Prof. Dr. Luc de Grauwe Vakgroep Duitse Taalkunde Preface In recent years, heathen past of Europe has been experiencing a small renaissance. Especially the Old Norse / Old Germanic neo-heathen (Ásatrú) movement has gained popularity in some circles and has even been officially accepted as a religion in Iceland and Norway among others1.

Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my promoter, prof. dr. Luc de Grauwe, for allowing me to choose the subject for this dissertation and for his guidance in the researching process. Secondly I would like to thank Sofie Vanherpen for volunteering to help me with practical advice on the writing process, proof reading parts of this dissertation, and finding much needed academic sources.

This article suggests that the modern notion of the ‘Hunt’ was created by Jacob Grimm, who conflated different medieval traditions with modern folklore. It further argues that a different approach to the study of medieval spirit processions, which confines itself to medieval and early modern sources and distinguishes between the types of procession described in them, results in different conclusions, with regard both to the character of the ‘Hunt’ and to its relationship with the sabbath. Introduction ‘In German and Celtic legend, the Wild Hunt consisted of a band of ghosts or spirits who would ride through the night.

  • Matveeva, Elizaveta (2016) Reconsidering the Tradition: the Odinic Hero As Saga Protagonist. Phd Thesis, University of Nottingha
    RECONSIDERING THE TRADITION: THE ODINIC HERO AS SAGA PROTAGONIST Elizaveta Matveeva, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy OCTOBER 2015 1 AСKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people greatly supported me throughout the years of my work on this dissertation. First and foremost, I would never have been able to make it this far without the love and support of my husband Mikhail, who had always given me not only comfort and encouragement, but also constructive criticism and hours of proofreading. My warmest gratitude goes to my supervisors Prof Judith Jesch and Dr Paul Cavill who made this research possible by being unbelievably helpful, patient and generous with their time. It is Judith who introduced me to Medieval Studies as an academic field and guided and supported me ever since, helping me to get my direction but always encouraging independent choice. Throughout my first year at the University of Nottingham, both Judith and Dr Christina Lee allowed me to participate in their seminars for postgraduate students, helping my transition to the field of Old Norse studies and giving me some of the best academic classes I have ever had. My obligation to individual lecturers and colleagues extends to the University of Nottingham as an institution that funded my study and conference trips with Vice- Chancellor's Scholarship for Research Excellence, Christine Fell Award and Graduate School Travel Prize. I have also received support from the Viking Society for Northern Research and AHRC that allowed my participation in the Orkney Viking Heritage Project. Finally, Fund Soros’s Global Supplementary Grant Program covered my living expenses for two years, allowing me to focus on my research.
