Bjarni examines whether Snorri could have composed the poems that are attributed to Egil, assuming that Snorri Sturluson is the author of Egil's saga. Even though Snorri incorporated some of the poems into his Edda, Bjarni discounts that as a proof that he considered them to be composed by Egil. It is not certain, after all, that the poems were included in the original Edda manuscript. Furthermore, Bjarni points out that Snorri went through similar experiences as Egil did—he did, for instance, lose a son— which may have enabled him to put himself into Egil's shoes as he composed Sonatorrek. | |||

Annotation
Bjarni examines whether Snorri could have composed the poems that are attributed to Egil, assuming that Snorri Sturluson is the author of Egil's saga. Even though Snorri incorporated some of the poems into his Edda, Bjarni discounts that as a proof that he considered them to be composed by Egil. It is not certain, after all, that the poems were included in the original Edda manuscript. Furthermore, Bjarni points out that Snorri went through similar experiences as Egil did—he did, for instance, lose a son— which may have enabled him to put himself into Egil's shoes as he composed Sonatorrek.
Lýsing
Bjarni veltir því fyrir sér hvort Snorri gæti hafa ort kvæðin sem eignuð eru Agli í sögu hans ef Snorri er á annað borð höfundur Egils sögu. Það að Snorri hafi tekið sum kvæðin upp í Eddu sína segir Bjarni enga sönnun fyrir því að hann hafi talið þau eftir Egil, eins sé alls óvíst að kvæðin hafi verið í frumhandriti Snorra Eddu. Bjarni bendir einnig á að Snorri hafi gengið í gegnum svipaðar raunir og Egill, hann hafi t.d. einnig misst son og hafi það gert honum kleift að setja sig í spor Egils þegar hann orti Sonatorrek.

Chapter 80: mjök erum tregt. "Þyki ástæða til að vefengja að Egill hafi kveðið Sonatorrek, þá væri enginn maður líklegri til að hafa "sett sig í spor Egils" en Snorri Sturluson, svo framarlega sem hann hefir verið höfundur Egils sögu" (p. 39).
