The <em>Song of the Nibelungen</em> tracks the collapse of a Germanic kingdom on the edge of the Roman Empire. Both the French <em>Song of Roland</em> and the Serbian <em>Kosovo Cycle</em> emerged from devastating conflicts between Christian and Muslim powers. <em>Beowulf,</em> the only surviving Old English epic, and the great Icelandic <em>Saga of Burnt Njal</em>, respond to times of great religious struggle - the shift from paganism to Christianity. These stories have stirred passions ever since they were composed, motivating armies and revolutionaries, and they continue to do so today.</p><p>Reaching back into the ancient and medieval eras in which these defining works were produced, and investigating their continuing influence today, <em>Epic Continent</em> explores how matters of honour, fundamentalism, fate, nationhood, sex, class and politics have preoccupied the people of Europe across the millennia.
