In the Middle Ages many poems and stories were handed down orally. These works were split into the following divisions: ''sagnir'' (historical), ''ævintyr'' (stories) and ''kvæði'' (ballads, traditionally sung along with the Faroese chain dance, in modern times also used in modern Faroese music). These ''kvæði'' were eventually written down in the 19th century, they are still used in the Faroese dance without any use of instruments. In the 13th century the ''Færeyinga saga'' (''Saga of the Faroe Islanders'') was written in Iceland. It tells the story of the settlement and early history of the Faroe Islands, though it is doubtful that it is entirely historically accurate. Faroese literature in the traditional sense of the word has only really developed in the past 100–200 years. This is mainly because of the islands' isolation, and also because the Faroese language was not written down in a standardised format until 1890. The Danish language was also encouraged at the expense of Faroese. Nevertheless, the Faroes have produced several authors and poets. In the early 19th century the liberalist Nólsoyar Páll - Poul Poulson Nólsoy tried to end the trading monopoly that was affecting the islands. He wrote many poems, including his most famous work ''Fuglakvæði''. Other poets include the brothers Janus and Hans Andreas Djurhuus, and Rói Patursson. Other famous authors from the Faroes include Heðin Brú (''The Old Man and His Sons''), Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen (who wrote in Danish) (known for his sole novel ''Barbara'') and William Heinesen (''The Black Cauldron,'' who also wrote in Danish). Both Heinesen and Patursson have been awarded The Nordic Council's Literature Prize. ==Faroese writers and poets== * Bárður Oskarsson, children's writer and artist * Bergtóra Hanusardóttir, novelist * Carl Johan Jensen, poet and novelist * Christian Matras, poet and translator * Ebba Hentze, children's writer, short story writer, poet and translator * Gunnar Hoydal, novelist, short story writer, poet and non-fictional writer * Hanus Kamban, poet, short story writer and translator * Hans Andrias Djurhuus, poet * Heðin Brú, novelist and short story writer * Janus Djurhuus, poet * Jens Pauli Heinesen, novelist, poet and short story writer * Joen Danielsen * Jóanes Nielsen, poet and novelist * Jógvan Isaksen, crime fiction novelist and a non-fiction writer * Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen, novelist (wrote in Danish language) * Karsten Hoydal * Kim Simonsen * Kristian Osvald Viderø * Marianna Debes Dahl, novelist, short story writer and children's writer * Marjun Syderbø Kjelnæs, short story writer * Martin Joensen, writer * Oddfríður Marni Rasmussen, poet * Oddvør Johansen, novelist * Poul F.
