Hosszú leírás:
A landmark new history of Old Norse-Icelandic literature, this volume is a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to a unique and celebrated body of medieval writing. Chapters by internationally recognized experts offer the latest in-depth analysis of every significant genre and group of texts in the corpus, including sagas and skaldic verse, romances and saints' lives, myths and histories, laws and learned literature. Together, they provide a scholarly, readable and accessible overview of the whole field. Innovatively organized by the chronology and geography of the texts' settings - which stretch from mythic history to medieval Iceland, from Vinland to Byzantium - they reveal the interconnectedness of diverse genres encompassing verse and prose, translations and original works, Christian and pre-Christian literature, fiction and non-fiction. This is the ideal volume for specialists, students and general readers who want a fresh and authoritative guide to the literature of medieval Iceland and Norway.
'The Cambridge History of Old Norse-Icelandic Literature offers readers comprehensive and authoritative essays on the principal genres, concepts, and contexts connected with this extraordinary medieval literature. Written by leading experts in the field, the book's twenty-six essays are divided into six sections, reflecting a broadly chronological arrangement (Contexts, The Distant Past, The Saga Age, The New Christian World, Beyond Iceland, and Compilations). The topics of the individual chapters range widely from, for example, 'Theoretical Approaches' to 'Landscape and Material Culture' to 'Diaspora Sagas' to 'Homilies and Christian Instruction', and in addition to treatments of the better-known saga genres this reference work also examines such critically important topics as legal culture and 'R&&&237;mur'. Elegantly written, with generous references to the scholarly literature, The Cambridge History of Old Norse-Icelandic Literature seems destined to hold a prominent place on the 'ready-reference' shelf of every medievalist's library.'
