It seeks to establish the relationship of the various valkyrja reflexes of the culture under study with other supernatural females (particularly the dísir) through the close and careful examination of primary source material, thereby proposing a new model of base supernatural femininity for the late Iron Age. The study then goes on to examine how the valkyrjur themselves deviate from this ground state, interrogating various aspects and features associated with them in skaldic, Eddic, prose and iconographic source material as seen through the lens of the hall-based warrior elite, before presenting a new understanding of valkyrja phenomena in this social context: that valkyrjur were used as instruments to propagate the pre-existing social structures of the culture that created and maintained them throughout the late Iron Age.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.

    __________________________________________________________________________ 2 SWR 2 Musikstunde mit Rainer Damm, 12.12.13 Reisen in die Antike: Römische Kaiser 4 Heute mit Rainer Damm Unsere heutige Reise in die römische Antike führt uns in die Regierungszeit von Kaiser Tiberius, eine so tragische wie furchtbare Gestalt, wenn wir den den antiken Zeugnissen Glauben schenken wollen. Unter seiner Herrschaft erlebte das Imperium Romanum eine der verheerendsten militärischen Niederlagen seiner Geschichte. Mit der Konsequenz, dass Rom in den kommenden Jahrhunderten nie mehr ernsthafte Expansionsbestrebungen in Richtung Germanien unternahm. Sie ahnen, wovon ich spreche. Von der Varus-Schlacht, auch Schlacht im Teutoburger Wald genannt oder Herrmannschlacht, die in der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres 9 unserer Zeitrechnung stattfand. Georg Friedrich Händel: Ouvertüre zur Oper Germanico Ensemble Il Rossignolo / Ottaviano Tenerani CD dhm 88697860452 Disc 1, track 1, 4’10 Das war die Ouverture zur Oper Germanico von Georg Friedrich Händel in einer Aufnahme mit dem Ensemble Il Rossignolo unter der Leitung von Ottaviano Tenerani. Dieses Werk wurde erst 2007 bei Forschungsarbeiten in der Bibliothek des Konservatoriums von Florenz entdeckt, und es dürfte, nach allem was wir bislang wissen, in Händels italienischen Jahren zwischen 1706 und 1709 entstanden sein, d.h. er schrieb es als Anfangszwanziger. Alle Indizien sprechen dafür, dass das Werk für ein privates Fest hochgestellter Kreise bestimmt war, die dem habsburgischen Haus Österreich nahestanden. Aber zurück zu Kaiser Tiberius, in dessen Amtszeit die Handlung dieser Händel-Oper fällt, und seinem Feldherrn Germanicus. Dem wird ein triumphaler Empfang bei der Rückkehr nach Rom bereitet. Die Konsuln werden nicht müde, die Heldentaten des Siegreichen zu preisen. Dem Jubel und den Huldigungen des Volkes schließen sich die Dankesbezeugungen von Kaiser Tiberius an.

  • The Editing of Eddic Poetry Judy Quinn
    A HANDBOOK TO EDDIC POETRY This is the first comprehensive and accessible survey in English of Old Norse eddic poetry: a remarkable body of literature rooted in the Viking Age, which is a critical source for the study of early Scandinavian myths, poetics, culture, and society. Dramatically recreating the voices of the legendary past, eddic poems distil moments of high emotion as human heroes and supernatural beings alike grapple with betrayal, loyalty, mortality, and love. These poems relate the most famous deeds of gods such as Óðinn and Þórr with their adversaries the giants; they bring to life the often fraught interactions between kings, queens, and heroes as well as their encounters with valkyries, elves, dragons, and dwarfs. Written by leading international scholars, the chapters in this volume showcase the poetic riches of the eddic corpus and reveal its relevance to the history of poetics, gender studies, pre-Christian religions, art history, and archaeology. carolyne larrington is Official Fellow and Tutor at St John’s College, University of Oxford. judy quinn is Reader in Old Norse Literature in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at the University of Cambridge. brittany schorn is a Research Associate in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at the University of Cambridge.

A presentation on the finer points of Monteverdi’s or Handel’s art can rapidly narrow to an explanation of the castrato tradition, a justification 196 for substituting women or countertenors, and a general plea for the dramatic viability of baroque opera. As much as one tries to rationalize the historical practice, a treble Nero or Julius Caesar can still derail ap- preciation of the music drama.

Hist., Romanorum exercitus omnium fortissimus, disciplina, manu experientiaque bellorum inter Romanos milites princeps ... ad internecionem trucidatus est. victoria hac reportata Arminius liberator haud dubie Germaniae dici meruit, teste Cornelio Ta- cito l. 2 Annalium, admirandus summopere, qui, ut idem pergit, non primordia Populi Romani, sicut alii reges ducesque, sed florentissimum imperium lacessierit. post tanta in patriam merita, mirum non est, si praemium etiam singulare Arminius exspectavit, eius gentis principatum, quam consilio ac fortitudine conservarat. sed libertatem popularium adversam habuit, cumque coronae honorem desideraret, dolo propinquorum cecidit, septem et triginta annis vitae, duodecim potentiae expletis. Tacitus l. d. II. Amorem favoremque spectatoris, unde miseratio potissimum nascitur, non potest non conci- liare Arminio patriae amor, cui non salutem tantum, sed summam gloriam clade Romanorum peperit. tanta ea fuit, ut Cannensi parem Romani ipsi confiterentur et Arminio duce Germaniam Carthagine non inferiorem agnoscerent. nequid favoris propter ambitionis suspicionem decede- ret, cupiditatem regni in Arminio extenuavi sic, ut et historiae relinqueretur veritas et ex heroica Arminii virtute cresceret miseratio et animorum error ac suspensio plurimum iuvaretur. motus animi teneros, praeterquam poenitentiae, nec Arminii character nec praesens negotium admitte- bat; eos ad Flavium Arminii fratrem, Sigimerum filium et Edelboldum reieci. III. Maroboduus rex veteris Germaniae mores et imaginem refert.

    PREHISTORIC NAVAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE NORTH OF EUROPE. By CtEduge H. Bokhmek. A tale of the times of old, The deeds of the days of other years. (Ossian.) INTRODl'dTION. Ill studyiiii!: the art <»f sliipbuildiiig, a8 i»ei't'ormo(l in the North of Europe and illustrated by both Saga accounts and actual remains, our atteutiou is drawn toward numerous similarities witli the ships of ancient Greece and Eonie, which su.ngest a common origin. Althougli this is denied by many investigafors, on the supposition that the ships of long-stretched build without sail, or only using it with favor- able and constant wines, ui)on the com])aratively quiet waters of the ^Egean, Ionian and Thyrrhenian seas, could not be an examj)le to the people who navigated the northern seas, with their short, chopping waves, sudden changes of wind, tremendous storms, slioal shores, and sand bars, and that these people '' had to be their own teachers,'" yetthere lingers something in the naval structures of Scandinavia which seems to indicate that the maritime explorations of the peojile of the south, the Plupuiciaus, did have a tendency to influence the ancient inhabit- ants of the north in the construction of their vessels. It is true little is known in a direct way of the shipbuilding of the Phuiuiciaus, yet the art taught them by the Egyptians and illustrated in some of the ancient relics of the seventeenth century e.

  • People, Place, and Power in Tacitus' Germany
    People, Place, and Power in Tacitus’ Germany Leen Van Broeck Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics Royal Holloway, University of London 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Leen Van Broeck, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: Wednesday 20 December 2017 2 Abstract This thesis analyses Tacitus' account of Germany and the Germans through a re- reading of all passages in the Tacitean corpus set in Germany. The focus is on the nature of power exerted in spaces and by spaces. The aim is to uncover the spatial themes within Tacitus’ work and offer new perspectives on his treatment of space and power. Throughout, I see landscape as a powerful influence on those who inhabit it. That landscape can be managed and altered, but is resistant to imperial power. Chapter one discusses the limits of violent Roman repression in overcoming the landscapes and people of Germany during the Batavian revolt. Chapter two demonstrates that the revolt’s ultimate demise can be located in Rome’s undermining of the unity of purpose and identity of the alliance created by Civilis. Chapter three traces lexical and thematic similarities in the discourses of Roman mutineers on the Rhine in AD14 and the German rebels of AD69-70, suggesting Tacitus – through repetition – sees imperial power as inevitably producing certain forms of resistance that are replicated in a variety of instances and circumstances, whatever the identities involved. Chapter four evaluates Germanicus’ campaigns in Germany as assertions of power and identity through extreme violence.
