THE SAGAS OF ICELANDERS are amongst the crowning achievements of medieval literature. For sheer narrative artistry and skill of characterisation, the Sagas rank with the world's greatest literary treasures - as epic as Homer, as deep in tragedy as Sophocles, as engagingly human as Shakespeare. They form a unique literary genre and describe a richly imagined and complex world - inspiring writers as diverse as Walter Scott, Jorge Luis Borges and W H Auden. This outstanding selection of sagas and shorter tales is prefaced by a brilliant introductory essay by Robert Kellogg, explaining their literary and social context. THE SAGAS OF ICELANDERS is drawn from the first English translation of the entire corpus.
