Everything about Icelanders Sagas totally explained
The
Sagas of Icelanders (
Icelandic:
Íslendingasögur)—many of which are also known as
family sagas—are prose
histories describing mostly events that took place in
Iceland in the 10th and early 11th centuries. They are the best known specimens of
Icelandic literature.
The authors of the Icelanders' sagas are unknown. One,
Egils saga, is believed by many modern scholars to have been written by
Snorri Sturluson, a descendant of the saga's hero, but this isn't certain.
The Icelanders' sagas are a literary phenomenon from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. They are focused on history, especially genealogical and family history. They reflect the struggle and conflict that arose within the societies of the second and third generations of Icelandic settlers.
The standard modern edition of Icelandic sagas is known as
Íslenzk Fornrit.
