Their setting is the Saga Age, a period that begins with the settlement of Iceland in the late ninth century and ends along with the Viking Age in the late eleventh century–however, the saga texts are disconnected from this setting, having first been written down in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This book traces the transmission and development of Icelandic cultural memory of Saga Age England across this distance of centuries. It offers case study analyses of how historical time, place, cultures, and events are adapted and conceptualised in the \u003ci\u003eÍslendingasögur \u003c\/i\u003eand suggests methodological approaches to their study as historical literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRemembering England \u003c\/i\u003eis an interdisciplinary book that will appeal to scholars and students of the history of pre-Norman England, the Icelandic sagas, medieval literature, and cultural memory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224906191192,"sku":"9781032501253","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032501253.jpg?v=1768289444","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/remembering-england-cultural-memory-in-the-sagas-of-icelanders","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
