Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-15 00:00:00 Taylor Starr Great combination for Norse history and the connection to the development of English literature. As someone who has studied Norse development I found the first couple of sections slightly simplistic but was a good refresher. As the content progressed the connections between Norse themes and techniques and English writers proved invaluable.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-16 00:00:00 Todd Simmiss Very thorough introduction to the literature of medieval Iceland. The book is set up in a way to guide the reader to the topic in a chronological order, starting with an introduction to Iceland itself, the setting of much of the literature concerned, through to the impact the works have had on later scholars, authors and poets. In a sense, rather than providing a detailed picture of the literature itself, O'Donoghue places it in context, or rather contexts.
