This Introduction to the saga genre outlines its origins and development, its literary character, its material existence in manuscripts and printed editions, and its changing reception from the Middle Ages to the present time. Its multiple subgenres including family sagas, mythicalheroic sagas and sagas of knights are described and discussed in detail, and the world of medieval Icelanders is powerfully evoked.
