Davis, in his article, examines the cultural implications to be gleaned from the two narrative systems Lars Lönnroth describes (i.e. the pagan and christian dialogues). Having selected various episodes from ''Laxdœla saga'' and ''Njáls saga'' (the emphasis resting on ''Njáls saga''), Davis studies the pagan and christian influences from episode to episode, and notes the differences in precedence of the two styles in each instance. He concludes with the statement that ''Njáls saga'' is an example of a victory for the "Christian plot of history in native narrative culture.” (p.451) | |||
