Working from the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda, and Old Norse prose narratives and laws, Jenny Jochens argues for an underlying cultural continuum of a pagan pantheon and a set of heroic figures shared by the Germanic tribes in Europe, Britain, Scandinavia, and Iceland from A.D. 500 to 1500. Old Norse Images of Women explores the female half of this legacy, which involves images both divine and human. In a society marked by sharp gender divisions, women were frequently portrayed as one of four conventional types. The warrior woman was exemplified by the valkyrie, sheildmaiden, or maiden king. The wise woman was a prophetess or sorceress. The avenger is best seen in Gudrun, whose focus of revenge shifted from husband to brothers. Last, there were the whetters or inciters, who appear both in the Continental setting as Brynhildr and as ubiquitous figures in medieval Icelandic literature, ranging from Norwegian queens to humble milkmaids.

Brynhild is the paramount figure of Germanic legend, but she has been subordinated more often than not to the male object of her passion. Her story is thus normally referred to as the legend of Sigurd or, in German circles, the legend of Siegfried. The title of this book is intended to make the point that the legend sings principally of the woman, not the man, a view that I argue specifically at the beginning of Chapter 2. My task has been to examine the sometimes fragmentary and always refractory medieval accounts of Brynhild with a view to extracting from them a better appreciation of her personality. This task made it necessary to reopen the long-standing debate on the textual relationships of the major literary documents (Poetic Edda, Vǫlsunga saga, Pioreks saga, and Nibelungenlied). As a consequence the book has become a general reassessment of the so-called Nibelung question, a good part of which it attempts to summarize and elucidate.
