Greenland: A Site of Memory and Marginality in the Icelandic Sagas

The book explores Greenland's depiction in Old Norse/Icelandic sagas, focusing on how it shaped cultural memory and identity. Greenland, settled by Norse Icelanders in 985, became a distant yet connected outpost. Drawing on sagas, archival texts, and archaeological evidence, the book will analyze Greenland's role in the sagas and offer new insights into its role in the medieval Nordic world.
