Indeed, such a focus obscures and erases the importance of those beings and narratives that move on the margins of mainstream culture - whether socially, ethnically, ontologically, or textually. This volume aims to offer a new perspective on a variety of theoretical and comparative approaches to explore depictions of alterity, monstrosity, and deviation. Engaging with the interplay of genre, character, text, and culture, and exploring questions of behavioural, socio-cultural, and textual alterity, these contributions examine subjects ranging from the study of fragmented and "Othered" saga narratives, to attitudes towards foreign people and lands, and alterities in mythological and legendary texts. Together the papers effectively challenge long-held perceptions about the lack of ambiguity in medieval Icelandic literature, and offer a far more nuanced understanding of the importance of the 'Other' in that society."--Back cover. 500 $a "The volume showcases a selection of papers presented at the 23rd International Medieval Congress in Leeds in 2017"--Page 9. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and indexes. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g Section III $t The Man Who Seemed Like a Troll: Racism in Old Norse Literature / $t Categorizing the Werewolf; or, the Peopleness of Shapeshifters / $r Arngrimur Vidalin. $t Taming the Wolf: Reading Bisclaret in Light of Old Norse Kennings / $r Minjie Su -- $t Between Myths and Legends: The Guises of Godmundr of Glaesisvellir / $r Jonathan Y.
