Focusing on the incorporation of the Old Norse death song “Krákumál” in both the series and the poem, the article shows that the reinterpretations of the death song determine the versions of the Viking hero. Reinventing the hero after the fashion of their own age, as either a modern self-made hero or as a tender warrior-skald , Hirst and Oehlenschläger contribute to the perception of the Viking Age in the twenty-first and the nineteenth century, respectively.</p>}, number={81}, journal={Passage - Tidsskrift for litteratur og kritik}, author={Jørgensen, Lea Grosen}, year={2019}, month={jun.}, pages={54–70} }
