ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The General Introduction mentions many of the scholars to whose work this translation owes a special
debt. Particular reference, however, should here be made to the late William Henry Schofield, Professor
of Comparative Literature in Harvard University and President of The American-Scandinavian
Foundation, under whose guidance this translation was begun; to Henry Goddard Leach, for many years
Secretary of The American-Scandinavian Foundation, and to William Witherle Lawrence, Professor of
English in Columbia University and Chairman of the Foundation's Committee on Publications, for their
assistance with the manuscript and the proofs; and to Hanna Astrup Larsen, the Foundation's literary
secretary, for her efficient management of the complex details of publication.
