Abstract:
»Building on this focus on the limited possibilities of resistance to coercion, in Chapter 4, ‘Suicide as Speech: The Antisocial Feminism of Svarfdæla saga’, Basil Arnould Price offers a critical re-examination of the brutal mistreatment of Yngvildr fagrkinn (fair cheek) in an unusually violent and understudied Íslendingasaga. Rather than reiterating critical discussion of the underlying ‘misogyny’ of the saga, Price instead reads the text as an antisocial feminist work to argue that Yngvildr unsettles patriarchal relations that require her subjugation and offers a framework for approaching acts that challenge contemporary understandings of agency and resistance.«
