Teutonic Mythology (The Complete Three-Volume Edition) is Viktor Rydberg's ambitious reconstruction of the Germanic cosmology and mythic history from fragmentary sources. Mining the Poetic and Prose Eddas, skaldic verse, sagas, chronicles, runic lore, place-names, and folklore, he stitches gods, giants, and heroes into a unified cycle.

Produktbeschreibung
Teutonic Mythology (The Complete Three-Volume Edition) is Viktor Rydberg's ambitious reconstruction of the Germanic cosmology and mythic history from fragmentary sources. Mining the Poetic and Prose Eddas, skaldic verse, sagas, chronicles, runic lore, place-names, and folklore, he stitches gods, giants, and heroes into a unified cycle. His dense, argumentative style marries close philology to comparative Indo-European inquiry, often contesting Grimm and other systematizers, and treats divergent passages as clues to an underlying epic chronology. Rydberg-a Swedish poet, novelist, journalist, and self-taught scholar-combined liberal humanist skepticism with a Romantic quest for origins. Working outside rigid academic guilds yet conversant with their methods, he joined source criticism to comparative linguistics. His companion retelling, Our Fathers' Godsaga, reveals the pedagogical impulse behind this research, while his public engagement in nineteenth-century Scandinavia sharpened his interest in national memory and religious reform. Scholars of Norse studies, comparative religion, and intellectual history will find this edition indispensable: not as final doctrine, but as a brilliant, well-documented provocation. Read it as archive and argument, and test its bold syntheses against current research for enduring insight. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.

Autorenporträt
Viktor Rydberg (1828-1895) was a distinguished Swedish writer, poet, and scholar, revered for his contributions to literature and his profound exploration of mythology and history. Born in Jönköping, Rydberg showed an early inclination towards literary pursuits and intellectualism. He embarked on his literary career as a journalist, but his interests rapidly expanded to encompass poetry, novels, and scholarly works. His vast knowledge of ancient cultures led to the creation of one of his most seminal texts, 'Teutonic Mythology (The Complete Three-Volume Edition)', an in-depth study of Norse and Germanic mythologies which has remained influential in the fields of Scandinavia studies and comparative mythology. Rydberg's literary style is noted for its erudition and narrative finesse, weaving together meticulously researched historical detail with compelling storytelling. His works often reflect a romantic spirit, infused with idealism and a quest for truth. His harmony of scholarly rigour and creative imagination places him among the pantheon of 19th-century intellectuals who profoundly shaped our understanding of European pre-Christian belief systems. Rydberg's legacy endures, with 'Teutonic Mythology' continuing to be a reference point for scholars and enthusiasts of mythological studies.
