Description

The late Sagas of Icelanders have been unfavourably compared to "classical" Íslendingasögur and fornaldarsögu. As "rogues" within the canon, they challenge the established notions of what makes an Íslendingasaga. This book offers a new reading of the relationship between the individual, paranormal, and social dimensions that form the foundation of these sagas. It draws on perspectives as diverse as "possible worlds" theory, gender studies, and social history.
