Join award-winning author and 1988 ASF Icelandic Literature Fellow Nancy Marie Brown in the 3rd Floor Galleries of Scandinavia House for a book talk about her latest, Song of the Viking: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths, which brings to life the intrigue and power struggles at the court of medieval Reykjavík that 13th -century Icelandic chieftain and bard Snorri Sturluson inhabited. Drawing on her deep knowledge of Icelandic history and first-hand reading of the original medieval sources, Brown produces a richly textured narrative of a world that continues to fascinate.
