Subject: Translation, Politics and Icelandic Sagas, J. Helgason
The Rewriting of Njáls saga
Translation, Politics and Icelandic Sagas
Jón Karl Helgason
Key Features:
· Explores the remarkable influence which Brennu-Njals saga exerted on
European and American Minds
· A fresh and stimulating work, filled with sharp insights
· Will challenge scholars to take serious account of how the reading of
texts is continuously reshaped
"Jón Karl Helgasson's book is a superb blend, combining artistic
narration with a critical analysis of the fortunes of 'a text in
motion'" Itamar Even-Zohar
Description:
The Rewriting of Njáls saga concerns itself with the process which
enables literary texts to cross cultures and endure history. Through six
interrelated case studies, Jón Karl Helgason focuses on the reception of
Njáls saga, the most distinguished of the Icelandic sagas, in Britain,
the United States, Denmark, Norway and Iceland, between 1861 and 1945.
The editions and translations in question claim to represent a medieval
narrative to their audience, but Helgason emphasises how these texts
simultaneously reflect the rewriters' contemporary ideas about race,
culture, politics and poetics. Introducing the principles of comparative
Translation Studies to the field of Medieval Literature, Helgason's book
identifies the dialogue between literary (re)production and society.

Introduction: Towards the Erotics of Rewriting
PART I: In Motion
1. Tradition of Forking Paths: A Brief History of Njáls saga
PART II: In English
2. The Victorian Tour: Tourism and Racism
