G. (William Gershom) 1854 1932 Collingwood, William Gershom Jón Stefánsson 1862 Stefánsson, Jón Jon Stefansson Kormáks saga. English The Life and Death of Cormac the Skald Produced by Doublas B. Killings and David Widger "The Life and Death of Cormac the Skald" by W. G. Collingwood and Jón Stefánsson is a historical account originally penned in Icelandic sometime between the mid-13th century and early 14th century and later translated in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Cormac, a compelling character descended from notable Viking ancestors, who navigates love, conflict, and the aspirations of a skald (poet) against the backdrop of Norse culture and mythology. The beginning of the tale introduces Cormac's forebears, laying a foundation of valor and tragedy that sets the stage for his own turbulent life. Cormac's father, Ogmund, is depicted as a formidable warrior who seeks both glory and a wife for his son. As the narrative unfolds, the conflicts surrounding love—particularly Cormac's unyielding desire for Steingerd, the daughter of a neighboring chief—grow intricately tangled with themes of honor and fate, leading to Cormac's eventual confrontations and trials that foreshadow his dramatic fate. The opening chapters effectively create a rich tapestry of familial duty, ambitious quests, and the poetic nature of Cormac, establishing a deep connection that draws readers into the complexities of his character and his world.
