Annotation
Explores Anglo-Scandinavian court poems and the potential position of England as a centre for the composition and performance of Scandinavian court poetry. Jesch argues for the authenticity of the drápa said in Egils saga to have been composed in England for King Athelstan and performed in his court.
Lýsing
Í greininni er fjallað um engilsaxnesk-norræn dróttkvæði og líkur þess að England hafði verið miðstöð fyrir sköpun og flutning norrænna dróttkvæða. Jesch færir rök fyrir því að drápan, sem Egill á samkvæmt Eglu að hafa ort og flutt við hirð Aðalsteins konungs, sé ósvikin.

Chapter 55: Aðalsteinn of vann: "In these verses by Egill, the naming of the king in the poetic text, along with … indications of its performance context, combine to reinforce the statement of the prose that the poem from which they are taken was indeed composed for performance in England, in the presence of King Æthelstan" (p. 316).
