"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
