An Icelandic Literary Florilegium, a special issue of New Norse Studies, is a smorgasbord of noteworthy studies and brings together twelve original articles. The various authors examine topics within the field of Old Norse-Icelandic and deal with a variety of literary genres, including the Sagas of Icelanders, kings' sagas, saints' lives, contemporary sagas, skaldic poetry, and post-Reformation compositions in verse and prose. There is no unifying theme, but all articles are written with Professor Úlfar Bragason in mind. Collectively, they present a heartfelt offering to him on the occasion of his seventieth birthday in gratitude for his friendship and scholarly support through many years. This book will be welcomed not only by specialists and scholars in adjacent fields, but also by avid general readers. Contributors: T. M. Andersson, Margaret Clunies Ross, Kate Heslop, Shaun F. D. Hughes, Jón Atli Árnason, Jon Gunnar Jørgensen, Marianne Kalinke, Annette Lassen, John Lindow, Else Mundal, Natalie M. Van Deusen, Andrew Wawn, Kirsten Wolf, Sune Wolf Pulsiano.
