Description

Explore the complex relationship between Iceland and England through this scholarly study from Routledge. This book examines how the Sagas of Icelanders (Islendingasogur) depict England, offering a unique look at Viking Age Anglo-Scandinavian cultural contact. While these sagas present themselves as historical accounts, they pose specific challenges for historians due to the gap between their setting and when they were recorded. The texts cover the Saga Age, spanning from the late ninth-century settlement of Iceland to the end of the Viking Age in the late eleventh century. However, because the sagas were first written down in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, they require careful analysis. This work provides the necessary context for researchers and students interested in medieval history and culture. By studying these depictions, readers gain a better understanding of how cultural memory shaped the historical narratives of the North Atlantic world. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of medieval literature and historical contact.
