ABSTRACT: This special issue of Scandinavian-Canadian Studies / Études scandinaves au Canada is the result of a number of sessions organized by guest editors Yoav Tirosh and
Simon Nygaard for the 2018 International Medieval Congress (IMC) at Leeds and supported
by the Memory and the Pre-Modern North network. This introduction serves to contextualize
the study of collective memory within the field of Old Norse as well as introduce
some of the key theoretical concepts discussed in the issue. The formation and transmission
of collective memory in pre-literate and literate societies are explained, with an
eye towards the cognitive elements at play. Finally, the issueʼs articles are discussed,
as is the logic of the compilation. This special issue hopes to expand the already
thriving field of collective memory studies in Old Norse, building upon the work already
done and offering new directions forward.
