Gareth Lloyd Evans is Lecturer in Medieval Literature at St Hilda's College, Oxford, and was previously Teaching Fellow in Old Norse in the Department of English Studies at Durham University. He was awarded his doctorate by the University of Oxford after having completed a BA in English Literature and an MA in Medieval and Renaissance Literary Studies at Durham University.

This book provides a thorough yet accessible study of the topic for both academics and the general public alike, and is itself a strong argument for making academic publications more accessible for general audiences. As the first book-length study of masculinities in the sagas of Icelanders (to the knowledge of the present reviewer) it is a much-needed contribution to the study of Old Norse literature, and one which will undoubtedly provide a significant framework for the study of Old Norse masculinities.
