Ígorskviða. Russian heroic poetry and ancient Icelandic literature. Topics include: Ígorskviða and the Nordic poetic tradition.
The Igor's Lament was composed in the late 12th century. It is a national treasure and has had a great influence on Russian culture, including the material for Borodin's opera "Prince Igor". "The poem has been a mystery to people because of how much it is reminiscent of everything written in ancient Russia and how different the work is from other texts from that time. Some have even believed that the Igor's Lament is a later forgery,".
Árni Bergmann writes an explanation of the poem and explains its connection to the Sturlung Age in Russian history that it describes. He also discusses the place of the Igorsk poem in medieval literature, especially its possible debt to the Norse poetic tradition.
