Recensies en Artikelen

"Sheryl McDonald Werronen’s Popular Romance in Iceland is the most detailed and thorough investigation of any Icelandic romance, and perhaps of any Icelandic saga, published to date. [...] Specialists in medieval Icelandic literature and culture will find it an extremely useful contribution to existing literature on these subjects. Hopefully, this study will inspire more scholarship about Icelandic romances, ballads (rímur), manuscripts, and literary culture; people working in these fields will have much to build on in this study." - Jóhanna Katrín Fri¿riksdóttir, Scandinavian Studies, Volume 89, Number 3, Fall 2017

Popular Romance in Iceland

The Women, Worldviews, and Manuscript Witnesses of Nítí¿a saga

A late medieval Icelandic romance about the maiden-king of France, the Nítída saga, was extremely popular in its day and remained familiar in post-Reformation Iceland. It has not, however, received the comprehensive scholarly analysis it deserves, or that other Icelandic sagas have received. Sheryl McDonald Werronen corrects that here, offering a detailed study of the saga and its presentation of women and the Icelandic worldview, including questions of identity, gender, female solidarity, and the romance genre itself.
