Snippets and Summary:
From the point of view of the student, many existing grammars of Old Norse suffer from two major defects. First, they are largely constructedon historical principles and thus contain detail about earlier stages of the language and linguistic development, little of which is of directuse to someone seeking to acquire a reading knowledge of Old Norse. Second, they assume a level of linguistic sophistication which theschool system no longer cultivates, and so leave unexplained manythings which to the modern student are opaque.
"A new introduction to Old Norse" Description:
The Open Library:
This Grammar is intended for university students with no previous knowledge of Old Norse. It covers considerably more than the essentials, however, and is suitable for study up to first degree level. Full account is taken of the fact that grammatical concepts may be unfamiliar to many using the work, and all but the most basic are explained. Comparison is made with English where helpful, and a glossary of grammatical terms included at the end. Although it is possible to study the Grammar on one’s own, the guidance of a tutor is strongly recommended. The bulk of the Grammar was available in draft by the time of the1998–99 session, and was tried out by several teachers at British universities. Content and presentation have benefited greatly from the comments and suggestions of both teachers and students. I would like in particular to thank Alison Finlay, Judith Jesch and Svanhildur Óskarsdóttir, who offered many valuable insights, Peter Foote, whoread the whole work and improved it in countless ways, and finally Anthony Faulkes, who not only commented on numerous points of detail but designed the layout and saw the production of the book through from start to finish. Needless to say, such faults as remain are my responsibility. --from the preface by Michael P. Barnes
