Møller’s chapter focuses on the translations from Icelandic manuscripts, by Sandvig, of skaldic songs concerning the deeds of old kings, showing how Sandvig emphasises the ‘Danishness’ of the songs and how his translations constitute one of the earliest attempts to reproduce both the tone and the metrical structure of the medieval stanza. Møller also shows the extent to which Sandvig relied, in making his translations, on the work of British antiquarians and members of the German Circle present in Copenhagen, who had taken an interest in Danish ballads three decades earlier.
