The reality of the fantastic combines a 'new philological' close
study of a fifteenth-century Icelandic manuscript compilation of
fifteen fornaldarsoegur and riddarasoegur, AM 343a 4to, with an
historically-based analysis of the manuscript's various contents,
demonstrating how fictions that are in many respects non-realistic
can be made to yield up insights into the real-world concerns and
interests of a group of fifteenth-century Icelanders. Both the
methodology of this study and its conclusions should interest
readers from diverse fields, including literature, history and
manuscript studies.
