Poetry, Song and Magic in Germanic and Celtic Societies

In the medieval world of the North Sea, poetry held the key to reality itself. Bards and satirists in Ireland could deform kings while the heroes of the Norse sagas could expel poisons, fool trolls and converse with the gods: all through the use of poetry. This course looks at the intersection of poetic and mythological perceptions and practices in Norse and Irish society, including principles of composition and experimentation.
