The book "The Influence of Old Norse Literature on English Literature" by Nordby Konrad Hjalmar explores the importance and influence of Old Norse texts on English literature. The author traces the ways in which the legends, myths and stories of the Scandinavian peoples passed into the work of English writers, reflecting in them a specific worldview and cultural aspects. The book examines in detail the key texts of Old Norse literature and their influence on the works of Shakespeare, Tolkien, Faulkner and other famous English authors. Analyzing this influence, the author reveals deep connections between the two literary traditions and helps to better understand the aesthetics and meanings of world classics.
