This book presents the first edition and translation of Ólafur Sveinsson’s treatise on elves that makes its text accessible in the way how it was laid out by Ólafur himself. The text is accompanied by an analysis of its social, literary, and economic context that shows the rich contributions which Ólafur’s unique testimony can make to our understanding of the workings of pre-industrial folk belief in a sparsely settled North Atlantic landscape.

Editorial: “Whether we view the era of ideologies that are being struggled with today as mainly belonging to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries or to a period of five centuries, it is only ‘five minutes of fame’ in the scope of human history. Modernity should be engaged as the provincial phenomenon that it is, approaching it on equal footing with alternatives, rather than making modernity the measure of all things.”
