| Summary: | ABSTRACT: This introduction to Jarlmanns saga og Hermanns seeks to provide the reader of the translation with sufficient context to be able
to appreciate to a greater extent the nuances of the work. Background information
about the manuscript preservation and how the shorter version fits into the tradition
as a whole is provided. Next some of the main topics of literary and interpretative
debate are looked at, namely motifs shared with other sagas and gender representation
within the saga. The introduction ends with a discussion of the later reception of
the saga, principally in Johan G. Liljegrenʼs early nineteenth-century Swedish translation.
