Der Thul in Text und Kontext

The Thul, a figure in Old Norse and Old English literature, resists precise definition. In his analysis of the textual corpus, Tsitsiklis shows that as a source of performative and consistently authoritative verbal action, the Thule has more of the diverse features of a spokesman figure rather than representing a fixed typology.
