Annotation

A study of the role of verse in sagas, particularly regarding how to determine whether verse serves as evidence for a particular saga or whether it is purely part of the narrative. Argues that the latter is true for Egils saga and the other Sagas of Icelanders.

Lýsing

Rannsókn á hlutverki kvæða í fornsögum og því hvernig best sé að greina hvort þau séu heimild fyrir frásögninni í tiltekinni sögu eða einfaldlega hluti frásagnarinnar. Bjarni heldur því fram að í Eglu og öðrum Íslendingasögum eigi hið síðarnefnda jafnan við.
