This new work by Magnús Fjalldal is the first to provide an overview of what Icelandic medieval texts have to say about Anglo- Saxon England in respect to its language, culture, history, and geography. Some of the texts Fjalldal examines include family sagas, the shorter ættir, the histories of Norwegian and Danish kings, and the Icelandic lives of Anglo-Saxon saints. Fjalldal finds that in response to a hostile Norwegian court and kings, Icelandic authors - from the early thirteenth century onwards (although they were rather poorly informed about England before 1066) - created a largely imaginary country where friendly, generous, although rather ineffective kings living under constant threat welcomed the assistance of saga heroes to solve their problems. The England of Icelandic medieval texts is more of a stage than a country, and chiefly functions to provide saga heroes with fame abroad. Since many of these texts are rarely examined outside of Iceland or in the English language, Fjalldal's book is important for scholars of both medieval Norse culture and Anglo- Saxon England. 546 Includes some text in Icelandic. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1066-1485|2fast 650 0 Old Norse literature|xHistory and criticism.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108616 650 0 Anglo-Saxons in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh93008367 650 7 Old Norse literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1045226 650 7 Anglo-Saxons in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/809002 651 0 England|xIn literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008103109 651 7 England.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1219920 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 Sources.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423900 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFjalldal, Magnús.|tAnglo-Saxon England in Icelandic medieval texts.|dToronto ; Buffalo : University of Toronto Press, ©2005|z9780802038371|w(DLC) 2006276325|w(OCoLC)60670231 830 0 Toronto Old Norse and Icelandic studies ;|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2005110610|v2. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=467904|zOnline eBook.
