Abstract:
Heroic narratives tell about past exemplary figures that were often warriors in a European context. Narratives about warrior heroes served the interests of the highest strata of an aristocratic warrior society in which the narratives were created and preserved. The same applies to Icelandic Family Sagas, which derive from heroic poetry both by content and social function. Although saga heroes vary, they share characteristics such as bravery connected to fatalism and a strong sense of honour. Heroic characteristics are at their most extreme at the moment of death, of which there are numerous examples in the saga literature. However, sagas depend on genealogical and historical tradition and sometimes even the greatest of warriors die natural deaths, neutral in heroic terms. Grettis saga, the Saga of Grettir, is one of the latest Family Sagas. The death of Grettir represents a brave stand against fate, reaching the level of a myth, whereas the death of his brother Illugi represents the social aspects of heroism, significant in the Icelandic Commonwealth. Together they support each other and form an entity that illustrates well the Icelandic form of heroism.

Abstract:
Ljóðsaga franska rithöfundarins Chrétiens de Troyes, Perceval eða Saga um gralinn var samin undir lok 12. aldar. Í fyrri hluta hennar segir frá ævintýrum ungs og óreynds pilts sem þráir ekkert frekar en að gerast riddari við hirð Artúrs. Með þessari frægu riddarasögu hefst leitin að Gralnum í bókmenntasögunni en það stef er nátengt spurningum um syndina sem setur svip sinn á fleiri frönsk bókmenntaverk frá svipuðum tíma. Í greininni er sagt frá helstu birtingarmyndum syndarinnar í frönsku ljóðsögunni. Sagan um gralinn barst til Íslands í norrænni miðaldaþýðingu og hefur varðveist í íslenskum handritum. Áhrifa þýddu riddarasagnanna á íslenska ritmenningu gætir víða. Sagt er stuttlega frá viðtökum verksins í norrænni þýðingu þess, Parcevals sögu, en að lokum bent á ýmis líkindi ljóðsögunnar og hinnar viðburðaríku Grettis sögu, sem talið er að sé frá byrjun 14. aldar. Bæði verkin flétta flóknar spurningar um synd, sekt og oflæti við myrkrið sem setur svip sinn á aðalsöguhetjur þeirra.

Abstract:

Jag vill i den här uppsatsen ge mig in i en värld där ära och heder ständigt står på spel. En värld där ett enda illa valt ord kan orsaka en släktfejd och få förödande konsekvenser vad det gäller att skörda människoliv. Världen är ganska fåordig och enkel, känslorna är raka och direkta. Det finns ungefär 50 stycken bevarade isländska sagor, och det är två av dessa jag vill studera närmare. I de isländska sagorna är det ofta männen som är centrala figurer, kring dem kretsar de flesta äventyr och de är ofta huvudpersoner i uppgörelser och vid tingsplatser. De isländska sagorna är fyllda av manliga ideal - råstyrka och mod, kontra svaghet och feghet. Det intressanta för mig är att fördjupa mig i kvinnoskildringen i två sagor.

Abstract:
The contrast between the familiar social space and the world beyond has been widely recognised as an organising principle in medieval literature, in which the natural and the supernatural alike are set off against human society as alien and hostile. However, the study of this antithesis has typically been restricted to the spatial aspect whereas the literature often exhibits seasonal patterns as well. This dissertation modifies the existing paradigm to accommodate the temporal dimension, demonstrating that winter stands out as a season in which the autonomy of the human domain is drawn into question in both Anglo-Saxon and early Scandinavian literature. In Old English poetry, winter is invoked as a landscape category connoting personal affliction and hostility, but it is rarely used to evoke a cyclical chronology. Old Icelandic literature likewise employs winter as a spatial category, here closely associated with the dangerous supernatural. However, Old Icelandic prose furthermore give winter a place in the annual progression of the seasons, which structures all but the most legendary of the sagas. Accordingly, the winter halfyear stands out as the near-exclusive domain of revenant hauntings and prophecy. These findings stand in stark contrast to the state of affairs in Middle English poetry, which associates diverse kinds of adventure and supernatural interaction with florid landscapes of spring and summer, and Maytime forests in particular. Even so, the seasonal imagery in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight makes clear that Middle English poets could use the contrastive functions of winter to no less effect than authors in neighbouring corpora. In partial explanation of authorial choices in this regard, it is proposed that winter settings are employed especially where a strong empathic response is desired of the audience.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 examines a selection of the most admired and most widely studied sagas of Icelanders. It demonstrates how the source traditions discussed in chapter 2 and the thematic concerns examined in chapter 3 come together in narrative explorations of identity. Themes of gender and sexuality, family, human and non-human relations, friendship, and more are explored in brief yet thorough overviews of these Icelandic stories. The texts discussed in detail include: Auðunar þáttr vestfirzka (“The Tale of Audun from the West Fjords”), the poets’ sagas (skáldasögur), Egils saga Skallagrímssonar, the Vínland sagas, outlaw sagas (Gísla saga and Grettis saga), Laxdæla saga and Njáls saga.

Abstract:
This chapter comprises a detailed reading of one saga: while many characters discussed up until this point in the book fail to live up to the masculine ideal, this chapter concludes this study by examining the representation of a character that embodies an extreme form of masculinity. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory and the concept of hypermasculinity to analyse the protagonist of the outlaw saga Grettis saga Ásmundarsonar, this final chapter demonstrates the extent to which masculinity can problematize a character’s relation to self, family, society, and even the very notion of masculinity itself. Hypermasculinity—it is shown—can be just as problematic as deficient masculinity.
