Egil, the Viking Poet focuses on one of the best-known Icelandic
sagas, that of the extraordinary hero Egil Skallagrimsson.
Descended from a lineage of trolls, shape-shifters, and warriors,
Egil's transformation from a precocious and murderous child into a
raider, mercenary, litigant, landholder, and poet epitomizes the
many facets of Viking legend. The contributors to this collection
of essays approach Egil's story from a variety of perspectives,
including psychology, philology, network theory, social history,
and literary theory. Strikingly original, their essays will appeal
not only to dedicated students of Old Norse-Icelandic literature
but also to those working in the fields of Viking studies,
comparative ethnology, and folklore.
