Draumkvæði: Based on Actual Experience or Literary Fiction?

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2013

Abstract

The presentation was questioning the authenticity of the Christian medieval visions. It was discussed in how far the visions were based on the original experiences of the visionaries or if one should rather label them a literary fiction.

The form and content of the Old Norse Draumkvæði was analysed in order to show if this particular vision can be labeled a genuine experience.
