This is a fantastic piece, @marythaler, and I’m so proud that we’re able to publish it.
I, too, love the quality of the sagas you describe as having a “pragmatic disinterest in delivering anything our modern sensibilities would recognize as a moral,” and how, “the characters are not uncomplicated role models, but real, flawed human beings.”
Your description of Auda and Gisli’s marriage is particularly poignant.
