- This 80,000 word monograph is based on two decades of research and writing. The research includes close readings of several corpuses of Old Norse/Icelandic material, including the Sagas of Icelanders, Sturlunga saga, and Iceland's largely-unstudied, detailed eighteenth-century tax registers. The research process has involved several visits to Iceland over the last 25 years, including stays in each of the study regions at different points in the calendar year. The book is underpinned by the resulting in-depth understanding of Iceland's physical and human geography, as well as engagement with technical debates about Icelandic literature and oral literatures more broadly.
