Axel Olrik




His ''Principles for Oral Narrative Research'', recently translated by K. Wolf and J. Jensen, Bloomington, Ind., 1992 , was first published (in Danish ) in 1921 , after Olrik's early death (''Nogle grundsætninger for sagnforskning'').

Olrik applied his methods also on the '' Gesta Danorum '' by Saxo Grammaticus , attempting to reconstruct the sources used by Saxo.
