Publisher's Synopsis

This edited volume re-examines literary production and reception during a neglected chapter of Iceland's history. It questions the usefulness of the binary division of pre-modern texts into religious and secular, advocating for a more holistic approach in which one can glimpse the sacred in the profane and the profane in the sacred.
