Genre and Hybridity in Late Medieval Saga Writing

 
This book explores the value of the combination of diverse fictional worlds for the study of generic awareness in late medieval Icelandic saga writing. It investigates the principles underpinning the construction of these worlds and examines the role of the chronotope in defining their characteristics. Beginning with a discussion of the concept of literary genre, this monograph analyzes three late medieval sagas that have been considered generically hybrid. It illustrates how the construction of fictional worlds within these sagas is indicative of the authors’ full awareness of the mechanisms involved in creating distinct literary worlds.
