"The Knickerbocker, Vol. 10, No. 3, September 1837" by Various is a literary magazine published in the early 19th century. This edition features essays, poetry, and various writings that explore topics like Scandinavian literature and antiquities, showcasing the cultural and historical interests of the time. The content reflects a fascination with ancient literary forms and the forgotten histories of northern European nations, especially those of the Scandinavians, and includes contributions from several authors on themes of literature, nature, and human experience." "At the start of the magazine, an essay on "Scandinavian Literature and Antiquities" introduces the socio-historical context of northern Europe and emphasizes the importance of preserving ancient texts and oral traditions. The author discusses the lack of historical records and celebrated narratives among the Scandinavians compared to their Greco-Roman counterparts, thus setting the stage for a detailed exploration of Icelandic Sagas and Eddas. This opening section invites readers to consider a broader literary heritage that includes the often-overlooked contributions of Scandinavian works to European literature, linking this to contemporary scholarship and cultural pursuits, as reflected in the efforts of societies dedicated to their study."
