The Saints in Old Norse and Early Modern Icelandic Poetryis the first handbook of its kind and therefore extremely welcome, useful, and inspiring. Students and scholars are going to discover unedited material waiting to be researched and published. Hopefully, we shall see more editions, various studies on poetry and saints and, not least, on the manuscript and literary culture in early modern Iceland. --Marianne Kalinke, Journal of English and Germanic Philology, vol 117:01:2018 "Although some of the poems are not great literature, all are of interest to the scholar. The number of manuscripts indicates their popularity, and it should not be forgotten that poems of this kind were also orally transmitted. They express the ideology and emotions of their poets and their audiences." --Ásdís Egilsdóttir, University of Iceland, Speculum.
