Publisher's Synopsis
The Home Of The Addressees Of The Heliand is a book written by Ernst Christian Paul Metzenthin and published in 1922. The book is a historical and cultural study of the region of Saxony during the early medieval period, with a particular focus on the people who were the intended audience of the Heliand, an epic poem written in Old Saxon in the 9th century. Metzenthin examines the social, political, and religious context of the time, and explores the ways in which the Heliand reflects the values and beliefs of its intended audience. He also discusses the linguistic and literary aspects of the poem, and provides a detailed analysis of its structure, themes, and symbolism. The book is written in a scholarly style, with extensive footnotes and references to primary sources. It is aimed at readers with an interest in medieval history, literature, and culture, and provides a valuable insight into the world of early medieval Saxony and the people who lived there.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
