Egil's Saga tells the story of the long and brutal life of
tenth-century warrior-poet and farmer Egil Skallagrimsson: a
morally ambiguous character who was at once the composer of
intricately beautiful poetry, and a physical grotesque capable of
staggering brutality. The saga recounts Egil's progression from
youthful savagery to mature wisdom as he struggles to avenge his
father's exile from Norway, defend his honour against the Norwegian
King Erik Bloodaxe, and fight for the English King Athelstan in his
battles against Scotland. Exploring issues as diverse as the
question of loyalty, the power of poetry, and the relationship
between two brothers who love the same woman, Egil's Saga is a
fascinating depiction of a deeply human character.
