[gothic-l] Hey Bertil

[Bertil Häggman]

Hans,

Viktor Rydberg was a well-known Swedish poet, author
and journalism professor who published extensively in 
the end of the 19th century. In the field of Germanic studies his
best known work is _Undersoekningar i germanisk 
mythologi_ (1886-89). As a contribor to the Swedish
National Encyclopedia I received an special edition
of Rydberg's _Sagan om svaerdet_ (The Saga of
the Sword, 75 short chapters, 220 pp) with the original 
manuscript text. 

Originally the text for _Segersvaerdet_
(The Sword of Victory), published as a series of
articles in "Ny svensk tidskrift" (1884), was believed to 
be identical to Rydberg's original manuscript.
But it was not so. In the articles the text had
ben condensed and changed. So the 1993 edition in
fact was an until now unknown work by Rydberg.
What I mean to say is that Rydberg is still published
in Sweden although his research by now may
be dated.
