Incredible so far. “We will never fully comprehend the significance of the fact that the first grand, enormous body of prose composed in a European national language sprang from the genius of a very small nation, perhaps the smallest in Europe. [If they had been composed in the language of one of the major nations], we’d undoubtedly have regarded the Sagas as an anticipation/foundation of the European novel.”
