The Sagas of the Vikings, Jan 24-Mar 7, 2011, Mondays, 1:00--3:00 pm with Linda Rugg.
In the 12th and 13th centuries, on an island in the north Atlantic, a literary miracle occurred. An ambitious group of people,
most of them anonymous, began to write texts based on mythology, the stories of kings, and the history of the island's first
settlers. These stories, called sagas, represent Europe's first great vernacular prose and were a major means for forming
a nation of settlers. Discover the Icelandic stories of dragon slaying and outlawry, courtroom justice, family, friendship,
and love. Be prepared to read! Visit olli.berkeley.edu for the syllabus and reading list.
