The symposium brought together scholars with a shared interest in medieval Scandinavian history and culture, especially the sagas, from a variety of disciplines, and this diversity is reflected in the papers published here. Topics covered include saga genre, with particular focus on encyclopaedic manuscripts and the late I?slendinga so?gur respectively, the relationship between saga literature and hagiography, with papers on Hrafns saga Sveinbjarnarsonar and on the textual traditions surrounding St Magnu?s of Orkney and St Thomas of Canterbury, and various aspects of the Norse settlement in Scotland. The volume shows the variety of approaches which can be taken to the sagas as texts, especially when combined with other historical and literary material. 410 0$aThe Northern World ;$v11. 606 $aCivilization 606 $aSagas$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivilization. 615 0$aSagas$xHistory and criticism 676 $a839.6/309 702 $aBibire$b Paul 702 $aWilliams$b Gareth 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450781203321 996 $aSagas, Saints and Settlements$92581574 997 $aUNINA
