The Legend of Northland.
Q7. What is a legend? Why is this poem called a legend?
 

Dear student
Please find the answer.

A legend is a traditional story, passed down the generations, depicting human values. It is not completely true and is a combination of history and myth. The poem, 'A Legend of Northland' is a legend as the poet himself does not believe this story to be a true one. This story involves a real character but is not true. But it gives us a great moral teaching.

A legend is an old traditional and popular story that is considered to be historical but its authenticity is not attested.

This poem is a “curious” and conventional story narrated to the children of the Northland. Besides that, the story's authenticity cannot be verified owing to the supernatural element present at the end of tale. Thus, the poem can be called a legend.
