The Legacy of the Ages II. The North Road. By Aðalheiður Guðmundsdóttir.
Norðvegur is the second volume of four in the series Arfur aldanna, which deals with ancient sagas, their origin, distribution and characteristics. The book presents a comprehensive picture of the material of the sagas in a Norse context up to the time when they were written in Iceland in the 13th and 14th centuries. It draws primarily on ancient relics such as pictographs, runestones, wood carvings and weaving, but also includes saga writers and poets who worked with the material in their writings and poetry. Aðalheiður Guðmundsdóttir is a professor of early Icelandic literature at the Faculty of Icelandic and Culture at the University of Iceland.
