Icelandic narrative is a term used to refer to two distinct types of literature: the SAGA and the Edda. The SAGA is an Icelandic prose narrative, typically written in the 13th and 14th centuries, that tells of heroic deeds and events. The Edda is a collection of Old Norse poems and stories from the 13th century, which includes mythological and heroic tales. Both the SAGA and the Edda are important sources of information about the culture and history of Iceland.
