The Story of Burnt Njal: The Great Icelandic Tribune, Jurist, and Counsellor

The Story of Burnt Njal is George Webbe Dasent's classic English translation of Njáls saga, the medieval Icelandic prose narrative of feud, law, and blood-vengeance culminating in Njáll's death. Suitable for readers of Norse literature, medieval history, and saga studies. Note: I should flag that "mythology" is a somewhat imprecise subject classification here—Njáls saga is a family saga (realistic historical narrative), not myth—so you may want to reclassify it under Old Norse literature or medieval sagas.
