Description

The Old Icelandic kings’ sagas are unique medieval narratives about the origins and establishment of the Scandinavian kingdom. They tell stories, but not straightforward tales of success, instead examining the diverse coincidences and uncertainties of Norse history. This volume examines the significance of this indeterminacy from the perspective of historiography, narrative theory, and the history of mentalities.
