Through four detailed case-studies, which examine the Norwegian 'Konungs skuggsjaÌ', the Icelandic 'NjaÌls saga' and 'LandnaÌmaboÌk', and the Gaelic text 'Baile Suthach Sith Emhna', the volume explores the linguistic, cultural, and political contacts that existed between Norse and Gaelic speakers in the High Middle Ages, and examines the impetus behind these texts, including oral tradition, transfer of written sources, and authorial adaption and invention. Crucially, these texts are not only examined as literary products of the thirteenth century, but also as repositories of older historical traditions, and the authors seek to explore these wider historical contexts, as well as analyse how and why historical and literary material was transmitted. The volume contains English translations of key extracts and also provides a detailed discussion of sources and methodologies to ensure that this milestone of scholarship is accessible to both students and subject-specialists. 630 00 $a NjaÌls saga. 630 00 $a LandnaÌmaboÌk. 630 00 $a Konungs skuggsjaÌ. 630 00 $a Baile suthach siÌth Emhna. 650 0 $a Icelandic literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Civilization, Viking. 651 0 $a Ireland $x Civilization $y To 1172. 776 08 $z 9782503579047 $i e-book version 700 0 $a JoÌn Viðar Sigurðsson, $d 1958- $e author. 700 1 $a NiÌ Mhaonaigh, MaÌire, $e author. 700 1 $a Ashman Rowe, Elizabeth, $e author. 830 0 $a Medieval texts and cultures of Northern Europe; $v 29. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011436.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B92F01C4B81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
