Aesthetic and Narrative Effects in the Íslendingasögur’ will be held at the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic in Cambridge on Thursday and Friday, the 5th and 6th of January, 2023. Papers will be presented by Alison Finlay, Stefanie Gropper, Annette Lassen, Guðrún Nordal, Judy Quinn, Tarrin Wills, Alexander Wilson and Brynja Þorgeirsdóttir.
