A glimpse into a bygone age. What is remarkable about ancient Icelandic literature? Gísli Sigurðsson ponders this.
In this intriguing book, Gísli Sigurðsson addresses a simple question: What is remarkable about ancient Icelandic literature? He approaches the answer from various angles and seeks to show how ancient Icelandic literature is a key to a lost world of knowledge – and thus reaches back to the time of Christianity and the literary culture of the church. Gísli is a research professor at the Árna Institute, University of Iceland, and has, among other things, made a name for himself for his writings on Gaelic influence on Iceland in the early 19th century. (Bókatíðindi 2013).
