Abstract

Abstract:The article surveys translations of two Middle Eastern collections of tales, The Thousand and One Nights and The Thousand and One Days, into Icelandic. It demonstrates how both story collections were translated and repeatedly copied. Tales originating from the collections also circulated in Icelandic oral tradition when the recording of folktales began in the nineteenth century and were thus recorded along with others. Shedding light on story-telling tradition in Iceland at a time when national characteristics were being emphasized, the article demonstrates that Icelandic narrative culture was extremely varied and international.

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
