Beskrivning
Focusing particularly on historically oriented sagas, Saga emotions identifies and examines a range of emotions from across Old Norse-Icelandic saga literature. Each chapter begins with a discrete emotion term, such as reiði (anger), gleði (joy), or the peculiarly Old Norse víghugr (killing-mood), exploring its usages within the broad saga corpus, and focusing on its contextual meanings and narrative purposes. The contributions explore the specifics of the lexical terms used for different emotion states and offer in-depth case studies that consider how various emotions manifest within particular examples of saga literature. The book offers the emotional granularity lacking in current studies of Norse emotion and serves as an essential foundation for future research and study into emotional depiction in Old Norse-Icelandic saga literature.

Recensioner i media

'a kind of handbook or illustrated lexicon of Old Norse emotions in alphabetical order as these were preserved and promulgated in several Icelandic saga genres. The coverage of the volume extends well beyond the classic Íslendingasögur (“sagas of Icelanders”), accounts of founding ancestors set during the settlement period and early Commonwealth (ca. 870-1030 CE). It also includes the samtíðarsögur (“sagas of current times”) set in the thirteenth century, the konungasögur (“sagas of the [Norwegian] kings”) and biskupasögur (“bishops’ sagas”), as well as some other religious texts.Craig R. Davis, The Medieval Review
