			Clover greinir hina mikilvægu senu í 116. kafla Njálu þar sem Hildigunnur hvetur Flosa til hefnda eftir Höskuld eiginmann hennar, en það leiðir að lokum til Njálsbrennu. Clover ber Hildigunni saman við aðrar persónur úr íslenskum og germönskum bókmenntum, einkum Guðrúnu Gjúkadóttur eins og hún birtist í Hamðismálum og Þorbjörgu í Harðar sögu og Hólmverja. Með þessu leitast Clover við að rekja hlutverk kvenna í hefndarsamfélögum þegar fallnir eru tregaðir. Hún gerir sérstaka grein fyrir hlutverki gripa ('tokens') sem standa með táknrænum hætti fyrir hinn dauða, til dæmis blóðug klæði eða vopn, og skoðar hvernig syrgjandi ekkjur nota slíka gripi í ritúölum. Auk þess kannar Clover sambandið milli þess að tjá trega með sérstökum hreyfingum eða gjörðum, til dæmis með gráti eða því að leysa hár úr böndum, og tjáningarinnar sem felst í hvötinni sjálfri, þar sem tungumálið þjónar bæði listrænu og lagalegu markmiði, eins og í tilfelli Hildigunnar.

			Clover analyses the pivotal hvöt scene of chapter 116 of Njál saga, in which Hildigunnr incites
			Flosi to avenge her dead husband Hoskuldr and which results in the burning of Njáll and
			his family. Hildigunnr´s incitement is compared to other Icelandic and Germanic literary
			figures, most notably Guðrún Gjúkadóttir in the poems Hamðismál and Þórbjörg of Harðar
			saga ok Hólmverja. In doing so Clover attempts to trace the role of women in mourning
			and vendetta cultures. Specific attention is paid to the role of ‘tokens’ as representations
			of the deceased, such as bloodied clothing, or weapons, and the methods by which grieving
			widows employ these tokens in ritualised settings. In addition, Clover examines the
			intersection between the performance of specific gestures related to mourning, such as
			weeping and the loosening of hair, and the language of the ''hvöt'' itself – that is as a
			performance, of language both poetic and legalistic, as in Hildigunnr’s case.

			reference, but in other respects – the charge of niðingr, the insistence on reciprocal
			obligation.
