• W1567791183 abstract "Saga narrative is characteristically dense and cryptic; the reader is forced elucidate, explain, and expand the text which he or she reads or listens to. Even more than in other forms of literature, interpretative differences are inevitable, since the reader must often gloss the text before even the literal meaning is clear. Given these truisms of saga criticism, was tempted ignore William Sayers's comment on my paper on Gudhlaugr Snorrason and Heidharviga saga in the hope that fairminded readers would adjudicate the issue (in my favor) without any effort on my part. But since am concerned that silence might construed as consent, and since the (unsubstantiated) charge of flaws in [my] reasoning is at least mildly annoying, will respond Sayers's comments. should begin by frankly acknowledging that my case is essentially based on probabilities. If you believe, as Sayers apparently does, that saga authors are very unlikely have assimilated medieval Latin Christian symbolism and saga narrative, then parallels from Christian Latin tradition - no matter how striking - should not cited illuminate a saga scene. But if you are prepared accept that a given saga author might use Christian Latin symbolism in a saga narrative, then my argument must taken much more seriously. Although the case for my interpretation of this incident in the saga depends a great extent of the frame within which one views the sagas, and while it is difficult discuss such a large issue in a brief format, it is possible show (briefly) that the secular reading which Sayers proposes is simply inconsistent with the text of Heidharviga saga itself. To make his case, he must rewrite the saga in certain respects and ignore important details which conflict with his interpretation. In oral traditional narrative it is conventionally the prerogative of the teller of tale recreate the story, but such a procedure is inappropriate here. Essentially Sayers reads the crucial scene in secular terms - he interprets Gudhlaugr's reluctance accompany his father on this expedition in terms of Gudhlaugr's concern for secular honor, that he is Snorri's honor into question for having assembled an inordinately large party for the raid. Then Sayers paraphrases the rest of the exchange in the following terms. Snorri replies in kind, and the scene escalates through the author's award of direct speech, the control of discourse, Snorri, a seasoned practitioner in verbal duels. Gudhlaugr's sarcasm is heightened in Snorri's echo of his words hingat til (thus far). In this statement, which closes the dialogue and, my causes Gudhlaugr's face redden in striking fashion, Snorri anticipates the separation of Church and State, effectively debarring his son from participation in local politics.... This is the scorn elsewhere heaped on the kolbitr, the youth of promise who sits home by the fire. In recognizing Gudhlaugr as a man of religion, Snorri denies him a future role as a man of action, thus calling into question, according Icelandic conventions, his very manhood. This, claim, causes Gudhlaugr's deep reddening which has hitherto not been mentioned. Sayers is quite frank about his participation in this narrative: I see - after what sense be - to my mind - I claim - and his paraphrase of the saga is an interesting narrative in its own right. But it must emphasized that the text of Heidharviga saga does not say that Gudhlaugr criticized the size of the raiding party. It does not say or even imply that he reddened in response his father's words; in fact the staging of the scene, a brief exchange between two men walking in opposite directions implies that Gudhlaugr's face was blood red when he encountered Snorri and this interpretation is strengthened by the phrasing of Snorri's retrospective account of their meeting. Snorri does not say that Gudhlaugr blushed in response what he had say, but that Gudhlaugr's face was as red as blood when he encountered him: sva hefir Snorri fra sagt, at hann hafi aldri slika manns asjonu set sem Gudhdlaugs, sonar sin, tha er hann moetti honum i kirkjunni; hafi hann tha verit raudhr sem blodh at sja i andliti (247) [Snorri said about this [later] that he had never seen a man's face like that of Gudhlaugr, his son, when he met him in church. …" @default.
