Bredsdorff (Scandinavian literature, U. of Copenhagen) analyzes the Icelandic family sagas as literature. He argues that the significant recurring pattern of events in the sagas is one of clashes brought about by the intersection of the code of honor and bloodfeud with people's sexual drives; he says, "The two combined set the catastrophe in motion." The volume is not indexed. Distributed in the U.S. by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
