Download or read book The Saga of r ur Kakali written by D. M. White and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Icelandic text The Saga of þórður kakali survives today as part of the fourteenth-century compilation The Saga of the Sturlungar. In extant form, The Saga of þórður kakali is a biography of þórður kakali Sighvatsson (c.1210-56) - chieftain, royal retainer, and sheriff - and covers the periods 1242-50 and 1254-56, providing an interesting view of power politics and political culture from the periphery of medieval Europe, challenging dominant historiographical narratives derived from the sources produced at the center.Hitherto, only one English translation of The Saga of the Sturlungar (and thus The Saga of þórður kakali) has ever been produced. This translation was carried out by Julia McGrew and R. George Thomas (published in two volumes, 1970-74). Nevertheless, even with the invaluable assistance of the eminent Icelandic scholar Sigurður Nordal - who provided English translations of the trickier passages of text - McGrew and Thomas's translation turned out to be "defective and unreliable" (in the words of Oren Falk).Published translations are cultural levelers insofar as they open up texts to broader audiences - members of the interested wider public - who may not have the means or time to learn the original language merely to study a single primary source or read a lone literary classic. While McGrew and Thomas's translation of The Saga of þórður kakali is more or less serviceable if used with extreme caution (i.e., by native English speakers with fluency in Icelandic), the importance of competent translations should not be forgotten, especially for the reader without Icelandic language skills: poor translations can offend, confuse, and mislead users of the target language.The present edition of The Saga of þórður kakali offers a new and accessible translation of the text by D.M. White, produced directly from the Icelandic with which it is printed side by side.D.M. White (b. 1994) received his BA and MA from the University of Birmingham before starting his PhD in the Department of Scandinavian Studies at University College London in 2017. His PhD thesis is on the origins of The Saga of þórður kakali, and is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of this thirteenth-century Icelandic saga's beginnings. He has previously published an English translation of The Tale of Geirmundur heljarskinn, another text - like The Saga of þórður kakali - from the fourteenth-century compilation The Saga of the Sturlungar.

Download or read book The Saga of the J msvikings written by Alison Finlay and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique among the Icelandic sagas, part-history, part-fiction, the Saga of the Jómsvikings tells of a legendary band of vikings, originally Danish, who established an island fortress of the Baltic coast and launched and ultimately lost their heroic attack on the pagan ruler of Norway in the late tenth century. The saga's account of their stringent warrior code, fatalistic adherence to their own reckless vows and declarations of extreme courage as they face execution articulates a remarkable account of what it meant to be a viking. This translation presents the longest and earliest text of the saga, never before published in English, with a full literary and historical introduction to this remarkable work.
