Shippey -- $g Bibliography -- $g Notes on contributors -- $g Index of manuscripts -- $g Index. 520 8 $a The FornaldarsoÌgur Norourlanda (literally 'ancient sagas of the northern lands', but often referred to in English as 'mythical-heroic' or 'legendary' sagas) are a group of some 35 Icelandic prose narratives relating the exploits of kings and heroes of late iron-age and early Viking-age Scandinavia -- before the unification of Norway under Haraldr HaÌrfagri and the settlement of Iceland in the late ninth century, and hence before the dawn of 'reliable' historical writing. In their present form, the FornaldarsoÌgur are generally presumed to date from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and thus represent one of the younger, 'post-classical' genres of saga literature, but most have at least some basis in significantly older tradition. Although many, with their stock characters and fondness for the fabulous, have been dismissed as historically unreliable and of scant artistic merit, their great and lasting popularity is attested by the very large number of manuscripts in which they are preserved -- over a thousand in all, the earliest from the beginning of the fourteenth century, the latest from the beginning of the twentieth. The essays presented here deal with various aspects of the transmission and reception of the FornaldarsoÌgur, from their earliest manifestations until the present day. 546 $a English and Old Norse. 650 0 $a Sagas $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Old Norse literature $x History and criticism. 630 07 $a FornaldarsoÌgur Norðrlanda. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01782487 650 7 $a Old Norse literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01045226 650 7 $a Sagas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103425 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Driscoll, Matthew James, $d 1954- $e editor. 830 0 $a Viking collection ; $v v. 24. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020856.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A36D964C129911EBB48536AA50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
