The Routledge Research Companion to the Medieval Icelandic Sagas
Author: Ármann Jakobsson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317041461
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
The last fifty years have seen a significant change in the focus of saga studies, from a preoccupation with origins and development to a renewed interest in other topics, such as the nature of the sagas and their value as sources to medieval ideologies and mentalities. The Routledge Research Companion to the Medieval Icelandic Sagas presents a detailed interdisciplinary examination of saga scholarship over the last fifty years, sometimes juxtaposing it with earlier views and examining the sagas both as works of art and as source materials. This volume will be of interest to Old Norse and medieval Scandinavian scholars and accessible to medievalists in general.

This time, it may well be a knock-out blow for many. The farm is still running, still surviving and still trying to get things restarted.

That is about to change, because there are large changes coming for them, just as fast as they can go. The Fires of America seem to have truly burned out, leaving nothing more than a few Embers. But Embers can still burn?.About the SeriesClayton Sanders left home the minute he had his high school diploma in hand. He waited that long only because the Army wouldn't accept him without one.

Stories Set Forth with Fair Words
Author: Marianne E. Kalinke
Publisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 178683068X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This book is an investigation of the foundation and evolution of romance in Iceland. The narrative type arose from the introduction of French narratives into the alien literary environment of Iceland and the acculturation of the import to indigenous literary traditions. The study focuses on the oldest Icelandic copies of three chansons de geste and four of the earliest indigenous romances, both types transmitted in an Icelandic codex from around 1300. The impact of the translated epic poems on the origin and development of the Icelandic romances was considerable, yet they have been largely neglected by scholars in favour of the courtly romances. This study attests the role played by the epic poems in the composition of romance in Iceland, which introduced the motifs of the aggressive female wooer and of Christian-heathen conflict.
