Editorial Reviews
Tom Shippey, London Review of Books
"Byock's dissection of selected sagas gives a schema (as one might expect from Iceland) which is unusually neat without being incapable of complexity. . . . The most fascinating parts of Byock's book discuss the ways in which saga characters operate within a system of checks and balances to gain their ends."
C. W. Clark, Choice
"In this stimulating and important work, Byock has succeeded in rehabilitating the Icelandic sagas as important sources for the social and economic history of the Free State (c. 930s to 1262-64). . . . Highly recommended."
