Description
Dating the Sagas Reviews and Revisions by Else Mundal The Family Sagas, also known as Sagas of Icelanders or Sagas about early Icelanders, are anonymous works that pose challenges in terms of dating. This literature is complex due to its transformation during both oral and scribal transmission. In this book, Else Mundal addresses methodological problems and discusses the dating of individual sagas and the genre itself. Mundal focuses on an important period in Icelandic literary history, particularly the development of new written genres that emerged in Iceland in the thirteenth century. The articles gathered in this volume shed light on the significance of the Sagas about early Icelanders and its relationship to the understanding of literary history in thirteenth-century Iceland. Else Mundal is a renowned expert in Old Norse Philology, with a wide range of publications on Old Norse saga literature, Eddic and skaldic poetry, Old Norse mythology, women in Old Norse society, and the impact of Christianization on Old Norse culture.
