The Authors of Njála. Threads from Western Literary History. By Jón Karl Helgason.
Is the author of Njála a British nobleman, a Danish feminist, an American medievalist or an Icelandic theatre director? Here, Jón Karl Helgason focuses on the rewriting of the story abroad. Translators, children's book authors, playwrights, travelers, visual artists, novelists and poets take the stage, claiming to be the authors of Njála. The book is accompanied by the multimedia CD Vefur Darraðar with the text of one of the oldest manuscripts of Njála and a number of poems and illustrations that have emerged from the story.
