10 Plays–Tíu leikrit
Guttormur J.
Guttormsson (1878‒1966, the Poet of New Iceland, was a son of Icelandic
immigrants, and born at Víðivellir, a farm near Riverton, Manitoba. Like other
major Icelandic-Canadian poets and writers during the first half of the
twentieth century, Guttormur only wrote in Icelandic. His Tíu leikrit was originally published in 1930 in Reykjavík, Iceland.
This is the first reprinting of the original publication, and the first English
translation of the plays.
