| Abstract
|
:
|
"The purpose of the present volume is to provide the nonspecialist with a first orientation on the category of Icelandic sagas known as "kings' sagas." They are so titled because they typically, though not exclusively, recount the lives of the Norwegian kings from ca. 900 down to the thirteenth century."--Page vii.
