Editorial Reviews
Vilhjlmur Arnason, Skrnir
"Byock has not only succeeded in grounding, in a convincing manner, the social roles of individuals in the sagas, but moreover, he has also laid bare the role of narrative in Old Icelandic society."

Peter Hallberg, International Journal of Scandinavian Studies
"Byock's thorough inquiry into the Icelandic feud system and its impact on the saga literature is valuable and fruitful in itself. But his specific research work also results in important general conclusions concerning the Icelandic saga as a medieval genre."
