Abstract
Abstract: In this paper I present evidence for the pervasive influence of hagiographic themes, including the miraculous, shrines and relics, and unrelenting mercy, on the biography of Hákon Hákonarson, King of Norway from 1217 to 1263. These elements are extant to a greater degree in Hákon’s biography than in any saga of the Heimskringla save that of St Olaf. Furthermore, I argue that the saga’s portrayal of the king as a saintly figure serves to compare him to the greatest Christian kings of the preceding centuries, even if only within the memorialization of the text itself and not in later memory. Studies of the saga remain largely historical, providing a (sometimes contested) backdrop of factual information over which studies of other literary and historical texts are made. With the current contribution I offer a different view, namely that of a richly textured royal biography that draws on the dominant literary forms of its day.

Furthermore, I argue that the saga’s portrayal of the king as a saintly figure serves to compare him to the greatest Christian kings of the preceding centuries, even if only within the memorialization of the text itself and not in later memory. Studies of the saga remain largely historical, providing a (sometimes contested) backdrop of factual information over which studies of other literary and historical texts are made. With the current contribution I offer a different view, namely that of a richly textured royal biography that draws on the dominant literary forms of its day.</abstract><subject lang="en"><genre>Keywords</genre><topic>Saga</topic><topic>Kingship</topic><topic>Hagiography</topic><topic>Norway</topic><topic>Old Norse</topic><topic>Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Neophilologus</title><subTitle>An International Journal of Modern and Mediaeval Language and Literature</subTitle></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>Neophilologus</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal" authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/JMC-0GLKJH51-B">journal</genre><originInfo><publisher>Springer</publisher><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">2011</dateIssued><copyrightDate encoding="w3cdtf">2011</copyrightDate></originInfo><subject><genre>Linguistics</genre><topic>Syntax</topic><topic>Comparative Linguistics</topic><topic>Comparative Literature</topic><topic>Philology</topic><topic>Historical Linguistics</topic></subject><identifier type="ISSN">0028-2677</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1572-8668</identifier><identifier type="JournalID">11061</identifier><identifier type="IssueArticleCount">12</identifier><identifier type="VolumeIssueCount">4</identifier><part><date>2011</date><detail type="volume"><number>95</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>2</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>313</start><end>328</end></extent></part><recordInfo><recordOrigin>Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2011</recordOrigin></recordInfo></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">210E3F072A918C03E8F3140D17C6D2D41EF63197</identifier><identifier type="ark">ark:/67375/VQC-X2HTDMK3-Q</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1007/s11061-010-9228-y</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">9228</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">s11061-010-9228-y</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2010</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/XBH-3XSW68JL-F">springer</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>Converted from (version 1.2.14) to MODS version 3.6.</recordOrigin><recordCreationDate encoding="w3cdtf">2020-05-30</recordCreationDate></recordInfo></mods><json:item><extension>json</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>application/json</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/ark:/67375/VQC-X2HTDMK3-Q/record.json</uri></json:item></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
