Résumé
The chapters in this volume analyse the Íslendingasögur as prosimetrum – that is, they treat the combination of verse and prose as a salient generic feature of this body of sagas. Their innovative approaches will enable a better understanding on the literary mode of the corpus as a whole, as well as producing fresh insights into the compositional habits of the (anonymous) authors of individual sagas.
