An analysis of the changing ethics of 13th century Christian Iceland as revealed by a comparison of other family sagas to the Islendinga saga--attributed to Sturla Pordarson (1214-84). The comparison examines how the sagas differed in their treatments of matters of kinship, sexual conduct, economic affairs, murder and revenge, motivation, and personal conscience. Also included is an index that details family bonds and outlines failures of loyalty in the saga. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

"Thus, while Beowulf represents the highest standards of virtue in the poem, he does not represent the ideal Christian ruler nor does his realm symbolize the ideal Christian society, ultimately unattainable on earth. He is neither a Christian nor a Christ figure nor an Old Testament type, for the allegory of the poem does not seem to work in that way. He is poetically conceived as quite like his contrary, for as Grendel is simultaneously the historical descendant and spiritual representative of Cain, Beowulf is metaphirically one of the 'sons of God,' symbolically representative of the moral goodness of man that moves, however inconsistently and in whatever time, towards the Christian ideal of social harmony and civilized order."--Introduction, page 18

Elves and dwarves, trolls and giants, talking dragons, valkyries and werewolves: all these are familiar in modern movies and commercial fantasy. But where did the concepts come from? Who invented them? Almost two centuries ago, Jacob Grimm assembled what was known about such creatures in his work on 'Teutonic Mythology', which brought together ancient texts such as Beowulf and the Elder Edda with the material found in Grimm's own famous collection of fairy-tales. This collection of essays now updates Grimm, adding much material not known in his time, and also challenges his monolithic interpretations, pointing out the diversity of cultural traditions as well as the continuity of ancient myth.

THE LOST MASTERPIECE FROM ASTRID LINDGREN'S CHILDREN'S CLASSIC Pippi Moves In marks the first time that the legendary Pippi Longstocking comics by the famed children's author and creator Astrid Lindgren and Danish illustrator Ingrid Vang Nyman will be published outside of Scandinavia in thirty years, as well as their first ever publication in English. The outspoken strong-girl with the carrot-colored pigtails and the mismatched socks has enthralled generations of children the world over with her fabulous exploits at Villa Villekulla, where she lives with her horse and monkey. Countless translations of the chapter books are available in more than sixty languages. Pippi is Sweden's best-known children's export, making it all the more remarkable that D+Q has discovered what will be a three-volume series. The comics are re-imaginings of the classic chapter book stories and were originally published in the Swedish magazine Humpty Dumpty in 1957–1959, a decade after the original books. The comics spotlight both Lindgren's brilliant writing and Vang Nyman's bold bright colors that seem presciently and eerily modern. The original illustrator for the chapter books, Vang Nyman was an avant-garde champion of the importance of children's literature who insisted that art in children's books needed to meet the same esthetic standards as art in any other medium. Sadly Vang Nyman never achieved international success, and tragically committed suicide in 1959 due to mental health issues, while Lindgren went on to become one of the world's best-loved writers with more than 145 million books sold worldwide. Similar to D+Q's 2005 unearthing of the Tove Jansson's Moomin comic strip, which has more than 100,000 units in print, these mid-century classics are waiting to be discovered and enjoyed by the world's legions of Pippi fans, both young and old.

In the ninth century, at the beginning of this account, Iceland was uninhabited save for fowl and smaller Arctic animals. In the middle of the sixteenth century, by the end of this history, it had embarked on a course that led to the creation of a small country on the periphery of Europe. The history of medieval Iceland is to some degree a microcosm of European history, but in other respects it has a trajectory of its own. As in medieval Europe, the evolution of the Church, episodic warfare, and the strengthening of the bonds of government played an important role. Unlike the rest of Europe, however, Iceland was not settled by humans until the Middle Ages and it was without towns and any type of executive government until the late medieval period. Medieval Iceland is a review of Icelandic history from the settlement until the advent of the Reformation, with an emphasis on social and political change, but also on cultural developments, such as the creation of a particular kind of literature, known throughout the world as the sagas. A view of medieval Icelandic history as it has never been told before from one of its leading historians, this book will appeal to students and scholars alike interested in Icelandic and medieval history.
