Abstract

"“The Scop’s Repertoire” evinces remarkable longevity and stability as a poetic theme. The evidence surveyed here suggests that the theme has roots in preliterate Germanic poetic tradition, and it persists down to the tenth- or eleventh-century Harleian pen trial (and, on the Continent, to the thirteenth-century Nibelungenlied)."--Page 19.
