Annotation
Following a brief description of Egils saga Skalla-Grímssonar, the dissertation treats the various classes of subjunctive constructions and their occurrences in the saga. The author concludes that "of these the indirect statement is by far the most important, while the concessive is comparatively unimportant. There are still many questions that can be answered only after an exhaustive study of the whole literature, but as far as this one saga is concerned the subject has been treated with some degree of exhaustiveness" (p. 74).
