- Title
THE REVERSE SYNCRETISM OF JÓN ÞORLÁKSSON'S TRANSLATION OF PARADISE LOST.
- Authors
Leasure, T. Ross
- Abstract
The article offers poetry criticism of Icelandic poet Jón Þorláksson's Icelandic translation of Friedrich Klopstock's "Der Messias," another translation of the English epic poem "Paradise Lost" by John Milton. Topics include the reverse syncretism expressed by Þorláksson in "Paradisar Missir" by adapting the Christian core of the poem to a Norse pagan mythography, and the structural transposition of the blank verse into a form used by medieval poets in Iceland.
