Several of the articles are very interesting, some seem to be exploring barren territory, and Shippey's extended review of Sigurd and Gudrun is, as expected, wonderfully informative and enjoyable. Unfortunately, this volume contains an astonishing number of errors, varying by the article, of grammar, typography (even in a page header!) and fact, including several new formatting errors in the list of abbreviations not present in vol VI. Extremely distracting. ( )
