Revenge and the Law in Beowulf and Njal’s Saga
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
In four pages this paper contrasts and compares these two epics in a consideration of how in each revenge is a legal and culturally accepted form of justice and how the backgrounding of the legally sanctioned payment of compensation in Njal’s Saga affects the reader’s view of violence in Beowulf. Four sources are listed in the bibliography.
