**Deadline extended until the end of October**
The Association for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies in Canada (AASSC), The University of Manitoba, and the Medieval & Modern Project invite titles and abstracts for a special themed section of Scandinavian-Canadian Studies, which will focus on the reception of Fóstbræðra saga. By discussing the saga itself alongside Halldór Laxness’ modern retelling, Gerpla, it will combine papers in the field of ‘medieval studies’ with others in ‘medievalism studies.’ Thus, we invite for submission scholarly articles on any aspect of the reception of Fóstbræðra saga, including Gerpla and Laxness’ engagement with the saga heritage more generally. We aim for the project to follow the publication of the first direct English-language translation of Gerpla: Philip Roughton’s Wayward Heroes, from Archipelago Books.
Short abstracts of 250 words are requested by 31 October 2016. Please see the following PDF document for further information.
