In comparison with most other European national literatures that of Iceland is relatively clear in origin. Thanks also to its literature, the history of Iceland lacks those grey prehistoric mists of other nations whose gloom can be pierced only by the more or less feeble rays of archaeology. Among the Germanic nations only the English have a somewhat similar native tradition to refer to, though by comparison it has suffered too much from Christian influence.
