Summary: "Randvar the Songsmith: A Romance of Norumbega" by Ottilie A. Liljencrantz is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a time that reflects the age of the Vikings and their interactions with the indigenous peoples of North America, centered around a fictionalized version of the lost city of Norumbega. The main character, Randvar, is portrayed as a talented young man with a lineage linked to Viking heritage, navigating the complexities of love, duty, and ambition amidst a backdrop of cultural tensions and adventure. The opening of the novel introduces a world untouched by the Norman Conquest, where the characters, mainly young Norsemen, embark on a hunt and discuss the whimsical behavior of the Jarl's son. As tension mounts with the introduction of Starkad's son, the reader is drawn into the dynamics of power and rivalry within the Jarl's court, highlighting the contrasting lives of the Norse characters and the indigenous Skraelling. The narrative shifts focus onto Randvar, revealing his aspirations and struggles in the face of expectations and danger—setting the stage for a tale interwoven with elements of romance, conflict, and personal growth.
