Opis

Focuses on the representation of masculinities in the Sagas of Icelanders and comprehensively interrogates the construction, operation, and problematization of masculinities in this genre.

Recenzje

This book provides a thorough yet accessible study of the topic for both academics and the general public alike, and is itself a strong argument for making academic publications more accessible for general audiences. As the first book-length study of masculinities in the sagas of Icelanders (to the knowledge of the present reviewer) it is a much-needed contribution to the study of Old Norse literature, and one which will undoubtedly provide a significant framework for the study of Old Norse masculinities.
