Annotation

In Háttatal, Snorri Sturluson mentions dunhent and liðhent varieties of dróttkvætt. An extensive study of extant dróttkvætt verse establishes that these and related patterns had a greater incidence than Snorri recognised and later scholars realised.

Lýsing

Í Háttatali ræðir Snorri Sturluson um dunhent og liðhent afbrigði af dróttkvæðum hætti. Í greininni er fjöldi dróttkvæða kannaður og leitt í ljós að þessi tengdu afbrigði eru algengari en Snorri gefur í skyn og síðari tíma fræðimenn hafa áttað sig á.
