Jón Halldórsson and the 14th-Century Innovations in Saga Narrative: The Case of Egils saga einhenda ok Ásmundar berserkjabana

Abstract

By the early fourteenth century, when Icelandic sagas and poetry had matured into an impressively rich literary system on its own, a new generation of saga-writers seems to have developed a taste for importing new themes, story-patterns, and motifs into their sagas, which were evidently picked up from continental Latin and French literature.
