Note to Anon (FoGT) 11III

[All]: The moralising tone already evident in sts 7 and 8 is again apparent here, and it intensifies to a Jeremiad. Some eds (most recently FoGT 2004, 99) have linked the upbraiding of Icelanders in this stanza with the reference in st. 7 to the poetic persona’s allegation that a lightning strike on a major church (possibly Skálholt) was God’s judgement upon sinful Icelanders. The two stanzas may be connected, but equally they may be independent expressions of a common theme.
