Stories Set Forth With Fair Words
The Evolution of Medieval Romance in Iceland
Distributed for University of Wales Press
“In this new and definitive history of romance in medieval Iceland, Kalinke shows how, from the first translations from French into Norwegian through to the popular and inventive late romances composed in Iceland, the north embraced the new genre. Kalinke’s achievement is to persuade us that the Icelandic romances bear comparison not only with the great family sagas but also with romance texts from elsewhere in medieval Europe.”
