AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Feud stands at the core of the Old Icelandic sagas. Jesse Byock shows how the dominant concern of medieval Icelandic society--the channeling of violence into accepted patterns of feud and the regulation of conflict--is reflected in the narrative of the family sagas and theSturlunga sagacompilation. This comprehensive study of narrative structure demonstrates that the sagas are complex expressions of medieval social thought.Byock, Jesse L. is the author of 'Feud in the Icelandic Saga' with ISBN 9780520082595 and ISBN 0520082591.
