FROM THE PUBLISHER-Of all the major Icelandic sagas, LAXDAELA SAGA has always stirred the European imagination the most profoundly. Composed by an unknown author (c. 1245) at a time when the Age of Chivalry was in its fullest flower in continental Europe, LAXDAELA SAGA is a dynastic chronicle that sweeps from generation to generation across 150 years of Iceland's early history. It is best known for the story of Gudrun Osvif's daughter, the imperious beauty forced to marry her lover's best friend, who is enshrined forever in the gallery of great tragi-romantic heroines of world literature. LAXDAELA SAGA, the record of a land caught between the pioneering demands of settlement and the intellectual rigours of Christianity, bestows dignity and grandeur on this nation's past. Magnus Magnusson is an Icelander who has been resident in Scotland for most of his life, and is well-known for his presentation of the BBC's Mastermind. He is also chairman of the Scottish National Heritage. He studied English and Old Icelandic at Oxford University. Hermann Pálsson (26 May 1921 – 11 August 2002) was an Icelandic language scholar and translator, one of the most distinguished scholars of Icelandic studies of his generation. Often working in collaboration with others such as Magnus Magnusson or Paul Edwards, he translated around 40 works of medieval Icelandic literature. inventory #15337.
