It questions the usefulness of the binary division of premodern texts into religious and secular, advocating for a more holistic approach in which one can glimpse the sacred in the profane and the profane in the sacred. The volume brings together contributions by twelve scholars that cover topics ranging from \u003cem\u003e ulur\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003erímur\u003c\/em\u003e poetry to the lives of premodern Icelandic poets and hymnists. The book includes a concise introduction to literary and cultural developments in Iceland after 1500, while also providing fresh insight into the premodern Icelandic literary environment and how it has been perceived and portrayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margrét Eggertsdóttir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501522264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501522260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Medieval Institute Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Margrét Eggertsdóttir","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49148449784063,"sku":"9781501522260","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sacred-and-the-profane-margrzst-eggertsdzettir-9781501522260","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
