The Saga of the Jómsvikings: A Translation With Full Introduction

Unique among the Icelandic sagas, part-history, part-fiction, the Saga of the
Jómsvikings tells of a legendary band of
vikings, originally Danish, who established an
island fortress off the Baltic coast, and launched
and ultimately lost their heroic attack on the
pagan ruler of Norway in the late tenth
century. This translation presents the longest
and earliest text of the saga, never before
published in English, with a full literary and
historical introduction to this remarkable
work.
