Autorenporträt
Keld Zeruneith (1941-), Emeritus Reader at the University of Copenhagen and member of the Royal Danish Society of Sciences and Letters. Zeruneith is a poet, literary critic, historian, and prolific author, well known in Old Norse studies for his work on the sagas and in modern literary studies for his biographies of three famous Danish poets; he is equally well known in Classical studies for ^GThe Wooden Horse: The Liberation of the Western Mind, from Odysseus to Socrates^g (2007; original Danish 2002), for which he won Denmark's most prestigious literary award, the Sen Gyldendal Prize, in 2004. Zeruneith brings his considerable breadth of scholarly and linguistic expertise and depth of poetic and psychological insight and knowledge to bear upon Old English studies in ^GDe sidste tider: Hedenskab heroisme kristendom: en angelsaksisk overgangshistorie^g (The Last Times: Paganism Heroism Christianity: An Anglo-Saxon Transitional History, 2017). Written in Danish, Keld Zeruneith's ^GBeowulf: The Tragedy of a Hero: A Reading^g (^GBeowulf. En helts tragedie. En lAesning^g) was first published in the English translation of Paul Russell Garrett (2023).
