In this scholarly study, Byock challenges the conventional view of Norse society in Iceland. He describes the life, economy and culture of Medieval Iceland -- including its autonomy from kings and warlords back home. Byock, a professor of Old Norse and translator of many Sagas, has also written Medieval Iceland: Society, Sagas, and Power.
