Example Sentences
- "Baden has in 1820 claimed in a pamphlet that the Nordic myths, the whole world of the Eddic gods, were no more than the murky shadow of Greek and Roman mythology, and early medieval attempt by Northmen to copy the traditions of classical antiquity. The figures of the Edda were, Baden had emphasized, no more than a barbaric distortion of the eternal Greeks and were not a worthy subject for the fine arts or for literary treatments. The Scandinavophiles saw it differently. Magnússon replied in 1821 with a treatise in reponse, which went point by point through the supposed models transferred from Greek mythology that Baden had tried to establish."
- "Brantly's monograph is the first book-length study of this proud, abrasive Scandinavophile and feminist writer and, as such, a valuable contribution to an understanding of fin de siècle Europe."
