Between The Worlds

The rich corpus of literary otherworld journeys that has survived from the Scandinavian Middle Ages is in many respects tied to a space 'Between the Worlds'. Every otherworld journey engages with a space 'between the worlds' in the sense that it plays itself out between this world and a world beyond, an otherworld. This volume presents a rich panorama of a broad range of Scandinavian, Celtic, and Slavic perspectives on the topic of the 'otherworld journey', which contextualises the motif of the otherworld journey in Old Norse literature with an unprecedented breadth.
