End quote

As the translator of one of the articles contained in the journal,
I'd like to add:

The journal includes an essay by Viktor Rydberg now available in
English translation for the first time. The essay is entitled "The
Heroic Saga on the Röksten". It appears in the newest issue of The
Runestone, the Journal of the Asatru Folk Assembly, which can be
purchased at http://runestone.org/news/news.html

Originally published in 1892 upon Rydberg's entrance into the Swedish
Academy, "The Heroic Saga on the Röksten" runs approximately 40 pages
and discusses the relationship of the inscription on the famous
viking-era runestone known as the Röksten to the heroic sagas of the
North. The essay largely focuses on the legendary sagas of Ragnar
Lodbrok. Rydberg points out exact parallels in the Icelandic sagas
and Anglo-Saxon histories and geneologies, demonstrating a direct
connection between the Scandinavian runestone and Icelandic and Anglo-
Saxon heroic material.

This essay is a shorter, more condensed version of a longer essay,
originally written in 1884 at the height of Rydberg's mythological
investigations, titled "The Heroic Saga and the Röksten". The
original essay was never published; a 72-page handwritten copy exists
in the Rydberg collection in the Swedish Royal Library. This version
is referred to in Rydberg's "Teutonic Mythology" as a treatise on the
heroic material in the Poetic Edda.

Those interested in runes and runic inscriptions, as well as those
interested in Rydberg's mythological investigations, will find much
of interest here. The article also includes an introduction by
Swedish scholar Ola Östin on the history and criticism surrounding
this essay.

Wassail,

William Reaves
