The Vanishing Volcanoes: Fragments of Fourteenth-century Icelandic Folklore [1]

Abstract

The entire corpus of Icelandic Family Sagas contains no express reference to volcanic fires. This article explores the reasons behind this puzzling absence in a genre whose realism is rightly celebrated. I propose to read a unique, oblique reference in Grettis saga as possible evidence of a submerged vernacular theory.
