| Summary: | This is a book-length study of masculinities in 'The Sagas of Icelanders'. Spanning the entire corpus of the text, and taking into account a number of little-studied sagas as well as the more well-known works, it comprehensively interrogates the construction, operation, and problematization of masculinities in this genre. 'Men and Masculinities in the Sagas of Icelanders' elucidates the dominant model of masculinity that operates in the sagas, demonstrates how masculinities and masculine characters function within these texts, and investigates the means by which the sagas, and saga characters, may subvert masculine dominance. |
