Einarr Skúlason's Geisli
«This critical edition of Einarr Skulason's Geisli is a fine piece of scholarship. Martin Chase is breaking much new ground here and makes a considerable contribution to the field. A sophisticated and beautifully written work and a pleasure to read.' Kirsten Wolf, Department of Scandinavian Studies, University of Wisconsin - Madison 'Martin Chase's presentation of Geisli is concise, methodical, and very readable. Einarr Skulason was an excellent poet and wonderfully fluent stylist and Geisli is among the few examples of skaldic poetry to survive complete. With scholarship on medieval religious and mystical texts flourishing as it is, this much-needed new edition is timely as never before.' Russell Poole, Department of English, University of Western Ontario»
