Descended from a lineage of trolls, shape-shifters, and warriors, Egil's transformation from a precocious and murderous child into a raider, mercenary, litigant, landholder, and poet epitomizes the many facets of Viking legend. The contributors to this collection of essays approach Egil's story from a variety of perspectives, including psychology, philology, network theory, social history, and literary theory. Strikingly original, their essays will appeal not only to dedicated students of Old Norse-Icelandic literature but also to those working in the fields of Viking studies, comparative ethnology, and folklore."--Provided by publisherToronto Old Norse and Icelandic studies ;9.SagasHistory and criticismLibros electronicos.SagasHistory and criticism.839/.61Helgason Jon KarlPoole Russell GilbertTulinius Torfi H.de Looze LaurenceDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910861029103321Egil, the Viking Poet4167825UNINA
