Annotation
The Italian translation of Egil's saga is prefaced by a thorough elucidation of the thematic cores which imbue this ‘collective biography’. Light is first cast on hereditary law and social relations, with particular attention to the warden-ward and the king-retinue relationships. Attention is then drawn to the centrality of the banqueting hall, where the outstanding scald is presented as the respectable ‘goldsmith of sound’. A description of Egil’s eccentric personality follows in accordance with that.
