Describe how Egil’s Saga functions to record Icelanders’ origins and establish a new “national” identity in Iceland.

Describe how Egil’s Saga functions to record Icelanders’ origins and establish a new “national” identity in Iceland. The idea here is not to imagine a sense of identity from today’s modern perspective, but rather from the medieval perspective approximately 250 years after Egil’s death. The settlement of Iceland has taken hold and many generations have lived there beyond the “wild years” of early colonization.Note: The papers are assigned (and the prompt provided) in the lesson prior to the lesson in which they are due. THEREFORE, submission for this paper is not until July 9, 11:59PM.Also please note: ALL response papers are a minimum of 350 words in length, which is our standard measurement for one page. It is okay to write more than 350 words. You should always use fairly focused evidence from the saga to support your generalized assertions. In addition to late submissions, points are most commonly lost on not fulfilling length requirement and not providing specific evidence to support the points made in the paper. It is completely okay to be exploratory in the paper and formal citations are not required, but referencing specific events and people in the saga is strongly urged.
