About This Book

Författaren återger en bred översikt över det forntida islänska livet under sagotiden, med utgångspunkt i föreläsningar och historiska källor. Framställningen behandlar bosättningen av ön, landskapets natur och bofasthet, vikingafärder och kontakter med omvärlden samt den materiella vardagen med jordbruk, hantverk och handel. Särskild vikt läggs vid rättsordningen: goðar, ting, lagar, rättegångsformer och vedergällning. Familjeliv, äktenskap, sociala sedvänjor och gravskick beskrivs parallellt med kulturens poetiska tradition och den gradvisa övergången till kristendom.
