Summary:"Representative of a unique literary genre and composed in the 13th or 14th centuries, the Icelandic Sagas rank among some of the world's greatest literature. Here, Heather O'Donoghue examines the singular textual voice of the Sagas while also exploring their important underlying ideas about the passage time. Bringing fresh and lively insights to the foundation texts of Old Norse and medieval Icelandic heritage, this book is an essential discussion of the luminous oral tradition of a migratory people and an iconic canon of Western culture"--
