The Sagas of Icelanders ((アイスランド語:Íslendingasögur)), many of which are also known as family sagas, are prose histories mostly describing events that took place in Iceland in the 10th and early 11th centuries, during the so-called Saga Age. They are the best-known specimens of Icelandic literature. The Icelanders' sagas are a literary phenomenon of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. They are focused on history, especially genealogical and family history. They reflect the struggle and conflict that arose within the societies of the second and third generations of Icelandic settlers. The authors of these sagas are unknown. One, ''Egils saga'', is believed by some scholars〔''Egil's Saga'', English translation, Penguin Books, 1976, introduction by Hermann Pálsson and Paul Edwards, p.7〕〔Sigurður Nordal had this to say in his edition of Egils saga: "This matter will never be settled fully with the information we now have. … As for me, I have become more and more convinced, as I gained a better understanding of Egils saga that it is the work of Snorri, and I will henceforth not hesitate to count the saga among his works, unless new arguments are presented, which I have overlooked."〕 to have been written by Snorri Sturluson, a descendant of the saga's hero, but this remains uncertain. The standard modern edition of Icelandic sagas is known as Íslenzk fornrit. == List of Icelanders' sagas == *''Bandamanna saga'' – Bandamanna saga *''Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss'' *''Bjarnar saga Hítdœlakappa'' *''Droplaugarsona saga'' *''Egils saga Skalla-Grímssonar'' – Egil's Saga *''Eiríks saga rauða'' – Saga of Erik the Red *''Eyrbyggja saga'' *''Færeyinga saga'' *''Finnboga saga ramma'' *''Fljótsdæla saga'' *''Flóamanna saga'' *''Fóstbrœðra saga'' (two versions) *''Gísla saga Súrssonar'', (two versions) of an outlaw poet. – Gísla saga *''Grettis saga'' *''Grœnlendinga saga'' – Greenland saga *''Gull-Þóris saga'' *''Gunnars saga Keldugnúpsfífls'' *''Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu'' *''Hallfreðar saga'' (two versions) *''Harðar saga ok Hólmverja'' *''Hávarðar saga Ísfirðings'' – The saga of Hávarður of Ísafjörður *''Heiðarvíga saga'' *''Hrafnkels saga'' *''Hrana saga hrings'' (post-medieval) *''Hænsna-Þóris saga'' *''Kjalnesinga saga'' *''Kormáks saga'' *''Króka-Refs saga'' *''Laurentius Saga'' *''Laxdæla saga'' *''Ljósvetninga saga'' (three versions) *''Njáls saga'' *''Reykdœla saga ok Víga-Skútu'' *''Svarfdœla saga'' *''Valla-Ljóts saga'' *''Vatnsdœla saga'' *''Víga-Glúms saga'' *''Víglundar saga'' *''Vápnfirðinga saga'' *''Þorsteins saga hvíta'' *''Þorsteins saga Síðu-Hallssonar'' *''Þórðar saga hreðu'' *''Ölkofra saga'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sagas of Icelanders」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
