OverviewNew 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 arriere-scene 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.
