New Norse Studies by Jeffrey Turco, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

New Norse Studies, edited by Jeffrey Turco, gathers twelve original essays engaging aspects of Old Norse?Icelandic literature that continue to kindle the scholarly imagination in the twenty-first century. The assembled authors examine the arrière-scène of saga literature; the nexus of skaldic poetry and saga narrative; medieval and post-medieval gender roles; and other manifestations of language, time, and place as preserved in Old Norse?Icelandic texts. This volume will be welcomed not only by the specialist and by scholars in adjacent fields but also by avid general readers, drawn in ever-increasing numbers to the Icelandic sagas and their world.
