ENG 212 ICELANDIC SAGAS

An induction into the understated, psychologically complex, and adventure-filled world of the Icelandic sagas. We will read in translation about Icelanders' explorations from North America to Constantinople and their long-standing feuds at home, about their marriages, lawsuits, and even encounters with trolls. Some discussion of elementary Old Norse/Icelandic and the runes.
