Description

Central to the Færeyinga Saga, whose themes and narrative strategies are analyzed here, are portraits of political actors embroiled in Faroese power struggles during the Viking Age. Its ambiguous narrative strategy requires readers to make their own interpretations. It thus provides insights not just into the Norse world of ideas, but also into the functions and foundations of Icelandic storytelling as a medium that generated social discussions.
