WANNER EW EVENTS OF THE NORWEGIAN MIDDLE AGES have Fgenerated as much discussion among historians as the mid-twelfth century coronation of Magnús Erlingsson (Steen 1949–51, 2; for a biblio- graphy of studies on the coronation and related topics up to the mid-1970s, see Helle 1974, 68–69). This event was revolutionary in several respects: it was the first coronation of any Scandinavian monarch; it was the first time a Norwegian was made king whose father was not king before him (or for whom this claim was not at least made); Norway’s churchmen had never before demanded, let alone received, such substantial concessions from the crown; and, finally, it helped to establish primogeniture and legitimate birth as privileged criteria in matters of royal succession in Norway. And yet, for all its importance, this event is poorly chronicled by contemporary sources. We are not even certain of the year in which it took place. (Fagrskinna places the coronation in September 1163, Heimskringla in the summer of 1164. For arguments favouring the former date, see Hertzberg 1905, 30–39; Nygaard Brekke 1960–61; Sandaaker 1998, 190, and the latter, Storm 1873, 200–03; Taranger 1928, 197–98; Ólafía Einarsdóttir 1982, 146–47.) Much of the discussion, then, about the coronation and its circumstances has revolved around attempts to determine just what happened, and when. In this effort, historians have had recourse to sources both documentary, in the form of letters and law- codes, and narrative. As is typical, the former type has been preferred as evidence to the latter, and in this case distrust of literary testimony has been compounded by the fact that none of the extant narrative sources is thought to have been written by a Norwegian.1 For stories of Magnús’s reign and coronation we depend on three Icelandic sources: a chronicle 1 One Norwegian historian who might have covered this period, Theodoricus monachus, explicitly declines to do so in ch. 34 of his Historia de antiquitate regum Norwagiensium because of its distasteful civil unrest (Storm 1880, 67). It is possible that the two other so-called Norwegian synoptics, the Latin Historia Norwegiae (1178–1220?) and the vernacular Ágrip af Nóregskonunga sögum (c.1190) extended to this period, but the endings of both are lost. In addition to the foreign sources listed, there are several Icelandic bishops’ 6 Saga-Book of Norway’s kings, Fagrskinna (c.1220–25), a more extensive collection of kings’ sagas, Heimskringla (c.1225–35), and the monk Karl Jónsson’s saga (c.1185– early 1200s) of Sverrir Sigurðarson, the usurper who killed Magnús and in 1184 assumed his position; and one Danish, Saxo Grammaticus’s Gesta Danorum (c.1210–20). Given the need for historical reconstruction that has driven scholarship on this event, it is not surprising that more energy has been put into assessing the accuracy of the narrative accounts than into discerning the authorial interests that informed their selection and ordering of material. Of those who have addressed this question, most have focused on Mag- núss saga Erlingssonar in Heimskringla, mainly owing to its attribution to an author about whom relatively much is known, the Icelandic chief- tain, lawspeaker and poet Snorri Sturluson (1178/79–1241). Even in this case, however, there has been little agreement as to its author’s perspective on Magnús’s coronation. Indeed, the two most recent con- siderations of this question arrive at contradictory results. Ólafía Einarsdóttir, comparing the descriptions of the coronation in Heims- kringla and Fagrskinna, concludes that disse repræsenterer to indbyrdes fjendtlige grene af det norske kongehus i det 12. årh. Snorri holder på Sigurd Jórsalafaris slægt, medens det træder tydeligt frem i beretningen i Fagrskinna, at den er talerør for . Sverres efterkommere på den norske trone (1982, 134). these represent two mutually hostile branches of the Norwegian royal house in the twelfth century. Snorri backs Sigurðr Jórsalafari’s family [to whom Magnús Erlingsson had a maternal connection], while it comes forth clearly in the account in Fagrskinna, that it is a mouthpiece for . Sverrir’s successors on the Norwegian throne. Conversely, Odd Sandaaker finds that Fagrskinna and Heimskringla, along with other texts produced by or for Sverrir’s dynasty, express an identical perspective on the event: sagas and annals, and English chronicles that provide limited information on Magnús’s coronation (Ólafía Einarsdóttir 1982, 136–46). The nationality of the author of Fagrskinna has been the subject of some controversy. Although it has been established that this text was produced in the court milieu of Hákon Hákonarson, and possibly commissioned by this king (Indrebø 1917, 273–77), most have assumed that its author was Icelandic.

    Ombrukket3_Layout 1 11.06.10 12.28 Side 45 Runes and metrics On the metricity of the older runic inscriptions By Michael Schulte The paper argues that the metrical status of the older runic inscriptions has been partly overestimated in the research literature, and that it is more likely to account for traditions of elevated, stylized prose instead. In the present discussion, three di- agnostic criteria will be assessed: 1. the syllable-count, 2. quantity-sensitivity and 3. the structural complexity of the alliterative scheme. The fine divide between style and metrics will be exemplified by inscriptions such as Noleby, Sjælland II, Tjurkö I and last but not least, the Stentoften–Björketorp group. In conclusion, the Ger- manic long-line represents the only true metrical form within the older runic cor- pus, whereas the bulk of the Early runic inscriptions are identified as artefacts of elevated prose style with typical features of formulaic diction.1 1 Introduction Although mainstream research favours assumptions about elaborate met- rical forms of particular early Runic texts, this is by no means imperative. The overemphasis of metrical structure is partly due to the reliance on Siev- ersian metrical grammar on a strictly measuring basis (e.g. Sievers 1893).2 Frank Hübler, however, in his study of Viking-Age inscriptions, accounts for a state of metrical indeterminacy (cf. Naumann 1997), and edith Marold 1. This article is based on the revised and enlarged version of my presentation at the con- ference Greinir skáldskapar – The Branches of Poetry, which was held at Reykholt, Ice- land, 19 June 2008 (see Schulte 2009).

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2006 the International Writing Program At
    ANNUAL REPORT 2006 The International Writing Program at The University of Iowa 1 Greetings, I am pleased to send you the annual report of the International Writing Program (IWP), which for nearly forty years has offered a unique residency for professional writers from around the world. The literary community created by the IWP, a community of poets, fiction writers, essayists, playwrights and screenwriters from more than 120 countries, stands as a testament to the myriad ways in which service to the word, in every language, can help to bridge differences between peoples and nations divided. Only connect—the governing idea of the program—means that we devote the fall to connecting writers to readers, translators, students and people from every background. And this report offers a glimpse into some of the connections that last year’s writers made. I am also pleased to tell you that the IWP is evolving in a dynamic fashion. In 2006 we hosted our first symposium on the Greek island of Paros, bringing together writers from every corner of the earth to discuss what we hold in common. A Greek film maker made a documentary about the symposium and an e-book of the essays written for the occasion is in the works. As I write these lines we are preparing not only for another symposium, on the subject of justice, but also for a tour of the Middle East designed to introduce some of America’s most prominent writers to their counterparts in Syria, Jordan, Israel and the West Bank. In the spring of 2008, in partnership with the University of Iowa’s Young Writers Studio, we will launch a project called Between the Lines, bringing a dozen high school students from six Arabic-speaking countries to take part in a summer writing workshop, which we expect to deepen our connection to this strategic part of the world, creating new networks of writers and readers.

    NARVA COLLEGE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TARTU DIVISION of FOREIGN LANGUAGES Kristina Shapiro ESTONIAN POETRY IN ENGLISH: MEANING IN TRANSLATION Bachelor’s thesis Supervisor: Lect. N.Raud, PhD NARVA 2015 PREFACE The place of Estonian poetry in world poetry has always been dependent on the fact that the Estonian language is spoken and understood by a comparatively small number of people. Due to particularities in grammar and vocabulary, Estonian stands rather isolated from other languages. One should invest in proper learning of Estonian to understand it. Moreover, the amount of Estonian speakers around the world makes it hard for Estonian poetry to be introduced to general public. That is why translation of Estonian poetry into English is needed. The present Bachelor’s thesis, titled “Estonian Poetry in English: Meaning in Translation”, is aimed to reveal the difficulties that might occur while translating Estonian poetry into English. The paper consists of four parts. The introduction introduces such notions as poetry, Estonian poetry, Estonian poetry in English. Chapter I “Aspects of Poetry Translation“ overviews theories of poetry translation aspects as well as techniques and poetry genre features and problems. Chapter II “Estonian Poetry in English Translations: Poetic Meaning“ focuses on the problems of translation from Estonian into English by analysing opinions and experiences of translators, their points of view on difficulties which might occur when translating poetry, the Estonian one in particular. It includes the analysis of poems written by the most famous Estonian writers of the 20th century – Marie Under and Doris Kareva. The conclusion sums up the results of the research and comments on the hypothesis.

    Studia Metrica et Poetica 1.2, 2014, 144–157 Frontiers in Comparative Metrics 2, in memoriam Lucyllae Pszczołowskae (April 19–20, 2014, Tallinn University, Estonia) Igor Pilshchikov The second international conference on comparative prosody was organised by the Department of Cultural Theory of Tallinn University and the Department of Classical Philology of the University of Tartu and held in Tallinn in April 2014. The first such conference took place in Estonia in 2008, and was devoted to the memory of the prominent Russian scholar Mikhail Gasparov (1935– 2005); the proceedings were published three years later (Lotman & Lotman 2011). The present conference was devoted to the memory of another impor- tant representative of international verse studies, the Polish scholar Lucylla Pszczołowska (1924–2010). The main topics of the conference included verse theory and methods of verse analysis, frontiers in Indo-European and Fenno-Ugric prosody as well as non-European poetic systems, the poetics of written and oral texts, cognitive poetics, and the analysis of the verse structures of translated texts and their originals. The keynote speakers were Nigel Fabb (University of Strathclyde, U.K.), Tomas Riad (Stockholm University, Sweden), and Paul Kiparsky (Stanford University, USA). The conference was opened by Nigel Fabb’s talk, “Lines and other layers of the poetic text: their differentiated formal, aesthetic and psychological prop- erties”. The speaker developed Roman Jakobson’s distinction between verse design (resp. verse instance) of the poet and delivery design (resp. delivery instance) of the reciter (Jakobson 1960: 366–367), and explored whether met- rical verse in performance, when line boundaries are not cued auditorily, is experienced differently from prose in performance.
