Family and history. On the narrative structure of Sturlung or the Great Icelandic Saga. By Úlfar Bragason.
Sturlunga saga is a collection of secular contemporary sagas that deal with historical events in Iceland in the 12th and 13th centuries. Sturlunga has been used primarily as a source in historical research. However, this book emphasizes the form of expression of secular contemporary sagas and the sagas and the collection as a whole as a discussion of the events discussed, without taking a position on the truth of the narrative. The view is expressed that it is necessary to examine Sturlunga's narrative before it is used as a historical source. Its authoritative value lies as much in how it is told as in what is said. (Bókatíðindi 2010).
