Nested Narrative: Þórðar Saga Hreðu and Material Engagement Nested Narrative: Þórðar Saga Hreðu and Material Engagement By Elisabeth Ida Ward A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian Languages and Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: John Lindow, Chair Karin Sanders Margaret Conkey Fall 2012 ABSTRACT Nested Narrative: Þórðar saga hreðu and Material Engagement By Elisabeth Ida Ward Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian Languages and Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor John Lindow, Chair Þórðar saga hreðu is an Icelandic saga, of the type usually referred to as Sagas of Icelanders or Family Sagas, that lacks much of the drama of other sagas of a similar type. The dissertation utilizes this genre outlier to test a new method for analyzing the sagas, which combines literary analysis with recent anthropological theory. This method foregrounds the interaction of the material world with the saga narrative as an essential way that meaning is manifested. Chapter 1 looks at the saga’s physical attestation in manuscripts, which offers a new emphasis on the saga as the product of a local community. Chapter 2 turns to the human-made objects referenced within the text, suggesting that the depiction of the material world in this saga is in keeping with the non- modern milieu from which it originated. Chapter 3 focuses on scenes in the saga where characters are described as moving through the landscape, and analyzes these as a way to demonstrate how co-constitutive the real landscape was for the saga narrative. Chapter 4 employs Cultural Memory theory to explain why certain placenames are included in the saga instead of others, noting that placename references are a clear invitation to include the real material world into the meaning-making of the saga. Chapter 5 looks at how the dynamic between the narrative of the saga and the local landscape of Skagafjörður as place has been disrupted in the modern period. The Conclusion offers a broad assessment of why repositioning the material world back into the interpretation of saga narratives is important. 1 IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHER, WILLIAM LANGE JR.

So I want to start by thanking the people who made that experience possible. William W. Fitzhugh gave me permission to participate as part of my duties at the Smithsonian Institution’s Arctic Studies Center, one of many courtesies he has shown to me over the years. John Steinberg, lead investigator on the Skagafjörður Area Settlement Survey, requested I participate and was an enthusiastic and patient teacher with this literary scholar on her first dig, as were the other members of the team. Stephen Loring gave me the trowel that I used on that dig, and also inspired me to believe that archaeology can be a compassionate and insightful means to investigate the past. The project sprung roots in Skagafjörður not only because of the beauty of that landscape, but also because of the people there. They made me feel comfortable and welcome to the valley both during the dig in 2002 and during my solo return trip in 2010. During the latter trip, Gunnar Oddsson of Flatatunga was kind enough to give coffee and conversation to an uninvited guest who had come to take pictures of his farm. The purveyors of Gistiheimili Bakkaflöt were accommodating to my need for extra space to work on my computer at night, and displayed just the right mix of curiosity about my work and respect for my need for quiet. Guðny Zoëga offered support, which I appreciated, as she had also done during the team’s stay in the valley in 2002. The project grew into what it is today starting in 2007, when I returned to Iceland to begin my dissertation research. Funding for 2007-2008 was provided by the American Scandinavian Foundation, and I am honored to be a part of the good work of that organization and their impressive programming. Funding for 2008-2009 was made possible by a Dean’s Normative Time Grant from UC Berkeley’s College of Letters and Sciences. My final year in Iceland was supported by a generous grant from the Leifur Eiríksson Foundation, administered out of the University of Virginia, and I express my gratitude to Karen Torgersen. I also received support from the Scandinavian Department of UC Berkeley, including a Fritz O. Fernstöm Traveling Fellowship, and I would like to thank Linda Rugg and the cheerful administrative staff for their assistance in those matters. The help I received within Iceland was extensive, and sustained this project in more ways than I can properly acknowledge. My extended family in Suðurnesja helped make the transition from California to Iceland easy and brightened my days. I also developed a scholarly family, thanks in large part to the many colleagues at the Árni Magnússon Institute, where I had a desk part of the time. The talks, both scholarly and informal, at that venue and hosted by other scholarly forums in Reykjavík, including the University of Iceland and Reykjavík Academia, broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding. For providing access to maps and encouragement for my project, I thank Árni Daníel Júlíusson. To the staff of the Þjóðdeild of the National Library, who hunted iv down maps and articles for me, I also give my thanks. But I want most of all to express my gratitude to each and every one of the scholars I have met whose names pepper the pages that are to follow and are listed in the bibliography. I trust they will accept this as an acknowledgement both of the personal and intellectual debt this project owes to them. Other scholars I would like to acknowledge are: Joel Berglund, formerly of the Greenland National Archives, who sent me the “Roaring Rocks” article by Goldhahn many years ago; Gunnar Andersson of the Statens Historiska Museet who was an archaeological breath of fresh air during my stay in Iceland; and Cornelius Holtorf and Stephanie Hawke, both of whom gave me valuable feedback during the “People, Places, Stories” conference in Kalmar, Sweden in 2011. Lotta Gavel Adams and Terje Leiren of the University of Washington gave timely and necessary encouragement. Iris Hahn- Santoro assisted with some German linguistic questions. I would like to also thank Jóhanna Katrín Friðriksdóttir, who read through an early draft of Chapter 1, and Unnar Þór Bachmann, who proofread my bibliography, among other things. To all my colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, I offer my humblest gratitude. It continues to amaze me that I am part of such a dynamic and vibrant institution. For his unwavering wisdom, not only in telling me to pursue my doctorate at Cal, but also for being the most subtle yet effective Doctoral Chair I could imagine, I owe much heartfelt thanks to John Lindow. He has encouraged my interest in all things Icelandic since I first met him as an undergraduate 20 years ago, and my life would not be the same without knowing him. My other committee members were equally amazing: Karin Sanders gave me insightful and inspiring comments, while also providing a compassionate shoulder to lean on through the challenges of balancing PhD studies with real life. Meg Conkey of the Anthropology Department did me the honor of serving as the outside committee member for this project with unwavering enthusiasm, even as it morphed from dealing with native rock to one focused on an enigmatic and virtually unknown saga. My thanks also to Carol Clover, Jonas Wellendorf, and Mark Sandberg, who gave me feedback on specific points in the dissertation, and from whom I learned much. My fellow graduate students in the department, especially Amanda Doxtater, kept me motivated. Finally, however, this dissertation would have never borne fruit without the support of my family. My parents and my siblings were my greatest cheerleaders, and I am grateful for their unconditional love. David Hightower shouldered an unfair portion of the parenting responsibilities with more grace and goodwill than I could have asked for. My son Palmer, who was born and grew up in the midst of this dissertation project, is the person that kept me grounded and sane through all the travels back and forth, and my gratitude for his delightful and resilient personality is profound. Thank you all. v LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: Skagafjörður from Arnastapi Photo by Elisabeth I. Ward p. 57 Figure 2: Map of skirmishes in Þsh Made by E.

    5 BETWEEN FICTION AND FALSEHOOD: THE ETHICS OF LYING IN THE SAGAS OF ICELANDERS ENTRE FICTION ET FAUSSETÉ: L'ETHIQUE DU MENSONGE DANS LES SAGAS D'ISLANDAIS Dr. Brian McMahon1 Abstract: This paper discusses a series of episodes from the Sagas of Icelanders in which one character attempts to deceive another. In each case the presentation of the incident is explored to establish whether the deception can be justified according to the internal ethics of the semi-fictionalised Saga Age depicted. On the basis of these examples, drawn from a range of sagas but with a particular emphasis on Grettis saga and Njáls saga, it goes on to argue that the saga authors consistently distinguish between the ethical justification for different attempts to deceive based on: the circumstances in which they take place, the degree to which they might be described as audacious, and the level of success which their instigators enjoy. It posits a distinction between “active” deception (incorporating slander, oath-breaking and níð) and “passive” deception (entrapping an interlocutor into deceiving himself), and concludes with a comparison of the saga hero's skill in bending the truth and the saga author's attempt to be truthful to his source material while also sustaining his reader's interest. Keywords: Truth, Lies, Fictionality, Sagas. Resumé: Cet article traite d'une série d'épisodes des Sagas d'Islandais dans laquelle un personnage tente de tromper un autre. Dans chaque cas, la présentation de l'incident est explorée pour établir si la tromperie peut être justifiée en fonction de l'éthique interne de l'Age Saga semi-fictionnalisé représenté.

  • 1 the Legendary Saga of the Volsungs Cecelia Lefurgy Viking Art and Literature October 4, 2007 Professor Tinkler and Professor E
    1 The Legendary Saga of the Volsungs Cecelia Lefurgy Viking Art and Literature October 4, 2007 Professor Tinkler and Professor Erussard Stories that are passed down through oral and written traditions are created by societies to give meaning to, and reinforce the beliefs, rules and habits of a particular culture. For Germanic culture, The Saga of the Volsungs reflected the societal traditions of the people, as well as their attention to mythology. In the Saga, Sigurd of the Volsung 2 bloodline becomes a respected and heroic figure through the trials and adventures of his life. While many of his encounters are fantastic, they are also deeply rooted in the values and belief structures of the Germanic people. Tacitus, a Roman, gives his account of the actions and traditions of early Germanic peoples in Germania. His narration remarks upon the importance of the blood line, the roles of women and also the ways in which Germans viewed death. In Snorri Sturluson’s The Prose Edda, a compilation of Norse mythology, Snorri Sturluson touches on these subjects and includes the perception of fate, as well as the role of shape changing. Each of these themes presented in Germania and The Prose Edda aid in the formation of the legendary saga, The Saga of the Volsungs. Lineage is a meaningful part of the Germanic culture. It provides a sense of identity, as it is believed that qualities and characteristics are passed down through generations. In the Volsung bloodline, each member is capable of, and expected to achieve greatness. As Sigmund, Sigurd’s father, lay wounded on the battlefield, his wife asked if she should attend to his injuries so that he may avenge her father.

  • Old Norse/Icelandic Myth in Relation to Grettis Saga
    Old Norse/Icelandic Myth in Relation to Grettis saga Russell Poole Massey University 1. Grettis saga is exceptionally rich in both psychological and mythological terms. Its account of the protagonist shows a diversity of forces combating within him (Vi›ar Hreinsson 1992:105). Equally, it is replete with allusions to mythological figures. In this respect Grettir is notably polysemous (cf. Hastrup 1986:310), having in his composition something of Ó›inn, something of fiórr, something of Loki, something of the giants. The proposition that the pre-Christian mythic world continued to form an implicit frame of reference for medieval Icelanders as they sought to understand and represent human life and behaviour (Clunies Ross 1998:23; cf. Gu›rún Nordal 1998:221) can readily be supported with reference to this saga. Just like the gods and giants upon whom he is styled, Grettir behaves in ways that are more extreme and more flamboyant than people allowed themselves in their quotidian existence (cf. Clunies Ross 1998:24). The story of Grettir, in its extant realizations, can be understood, I shall argue, as a fourteenth-century mythicization of tensions and pressures, fears and 398 11th International Saga Conference 399 desires, within Icelandic culture.1 Here I propose to concentrate on familial relationships within Grettir’s “primary group”, developing the proposition that the figure of Glámr personifies crucial aspects of that dynamic.2 2. The unfolding of Glámr’s character within the story can be summed up if we describe him as at first a merely reckless and godless Swedish stranger, come to labour on the farm of one fiorhallr; then an “undead” who disrupts property and lives; and finally the pronouncer of a decisive curse upon Grettir.

  • A Study of the Figure of Prominent Woman in the Sagas of Icelanders
    A STUDY OF THE FIGURE OF THE PROMINENT WOMAN IN THE SAGAS OF ICELANDERS, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON NJÁLS SAGA, LAXDÆLA SAGA, AND GUNNLAUGS SAGA ORMSTUNGU. The figure of the prominent woman is a common image throughout the Sagas of Icelanders, often resulting in some of the most memorable female characters found on Old Norse literature. The prominent woman is characterised by some admirable qualities, for example, wisdom, beauty, determination, and strong-mindedness. However, she is also often attributed with some less desirable characteristics, such as spite, greed, a vengeful nature, and a taste for violence. These women function in different ways in the sagas, sometimes appearing as the beautiful temptress, the whetter, or the wise woman, but all ultimately cause tragedy as a consequence of their actions. In this essay I am going to argue that the prominent women of the sagas represent the male’s misogynistic fear of the powerful masculine woman who threatens male dominance. I will focus on the prominent women in Njáls saga, Laxdæla saga, and Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu, particularly the figures of Hallgerd Hoskuldsdottir, Gudrun Osvifsdottir, and Helga Thorsteinsdottir (the Fair). In the texts, all of these women deviate from the societal norms expected of medieval Icelandic women, albeit in different ways. Indeed, all of these women have similar functions in the texts, appearing as scapegoats for male weakness and serving as a warning for both men and woman alike against the destructive power of the strong female figure. Women in medieval Icelandic society were under the control of the men in their family, whether that be a husband, father, or brothers.1 Indeed, women had little say in the important events of their lives and were expected to marry whomever the men in their family decided.

  • Some Thoughts on the Supernatural, the Fantastic and the Paranormal in Medieval and Modern Literature
    Folk Belief and Traditions of the Supernatural Chapter 1 Some Thoughts on the Supernatural, the Fantastic and the Paranormal in Medieval and Modern Literature Arngrímur Vídalín Center for Research in the Humanities, University of Iceland What does ‘supernatural’ mean? We tend to imagine that we know very much what terms such as ‘supernatural’ mean, and even that we all always understand them exactly as they were intended to be understood. It is all too easy to forget that context may make a world of difference, that ‘the supernatural’ can be taken to mean different things in different cultures, that different academic disciplines may view it and make use of it with varying emphasis and meaning, and of course that what would now be considered supernatural may not at all be the same as would have been thought of as being supernatural in previous centuries. To know what is supernatural entails knowing what is not supernatural. What makes a particular being supernatural, and when, by the same token, does a supernatural being cease to be supernatural? Does the origin story of the being matter, if one is given? Dracula is originally a man, albeit bloodthirsty, who is then transformed into a literally bloodthirsty vampire. Is Dracula a supernatural creature, or is he a man with supernatural properties? [7] Do the supernatural properties he acquires, in other words, become such an integral part of him through his transformation into a vampire that he is made supernatural by them? In the world of the novel Dracula, what would it mean to be supernatural? In Stephen King’s It, the reader is introduced to a creature that by most people’s standards is obviously supernatural: a vicious clown that attacks and brutally murders children and can take any form feared by them.

  • Pilgrims to Thule
    MARBURG JOURNAL OF RELIGION, Vol. 22, No. 1 (2020) 1 Pilgrims to Thule: Religion and the Supernatural in Travel Literature about Iceland Matthias Egeler Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Abstract The depiction of religion, spirituality, and/or the ‘supernatural’ in travel writing, and more generally interconnections between religion and tourism, form a broad and growing field of research in the study of religions. This contribution presents the first study in this field that tackles tourism in and travel writing about Iceland. Using three contrasting pairs of German and English travelogues from the 1890s, the 1930s, and the 2010s, it illustrates a number of shared trends in the treatment of religion, religious history, and the supernatural in German and English travel writing about Iceland, as well as a shift that happened in recent decades, where the interests of travel writers seem to have undergone a marked change and Iceland appears to have turned from a land of ancient Northern mythology into a country ‘where people still believe in elves’. The article tentatively correlates this shift with a change in the Icelandic self-representation, highlights a number of questions arising from both this shift and its seeming correlation with Icelandic strategies of tourism marketing, and notes a number of perspectives in which Iceland can be a highly relevant topic for the research field of religion and tourism. Introduction England and Germany have long shared a deep fascination with Iceland. In spite of Iceland’s location far out in the North Atlantic and the comparative inaccessibility that this entailed, travellers wealthy enough to afford the long overseas passage started flocking to the country even in the first half of the nineteenth century.
