sagaProse narrative written down in the 11th-13th centuries in Norway and Iceland. The sagas range from family chronicles, such as the Landnamabok of Ari (1067-1148), to legendary and anonymous works such as Njal's Saga (c. 1280). The term ‘saga’ is generally applied to any long (often heroic) story. Other sagas include the Heimskringla (c. 1220-35) of Icelandic writer Snorri Sturluson celebrating Norwegian kings, the Sturlunga of Sturla Thordsson (1214-1284), and the legendary and anonymous Laxdaela Saga (c. 1250) and Grettla Saga. ‘Family saga’ is often used of a novel whose protagonists span two or more generations.
