Opis

Most of the Old Norse texts that preserve the myths of Ragnarok originated in Iceland. As the first full-length ecocritical study of Old Norse myth and literature, Evergreen Ash argues that Ragnarok is primarily a story of ecological collapse that reflects the anxieties of early Icelanders who were trying to make a home in a hostile environment.
