Lögberg-Heimskringla • Föstudagur 6. maí 1994 • 13 Kirsten Wolf honoured In the area of the humanities the winner was Dr. Kirsten Wolf, Chair of the Department of lcelandic at the University of Manitoba Dr. Kirsten Wolf s scholarly output is “staggering,” says one of her nominators, and has eanied her a “solid intema- tional reputation at an age when most other scholars are just setting out. Her impressive accomplishments reflect her discipline, scholarly acumen and diversity of approách.” Wolf, who is both head and chair of Icelandic studies has published extensively, includ- ing writing or editing six books, all only seven years since obtaining her doctorate. Her colleagues speak high- ly of Wolf s ability to juggle research, a heavy teaching load, administrative work, and community outreach. Her broad knowledge of Scandinavian languages, liter- ature and history has also enabled her to make signifi- cant contributions outside the area of Old Norse. In recogni- tion of her contributions.to the fíeld, Wolf has been invit- ed to deliver papers at two upcoming intemational con- ferences. Wolf s published works are credited with bringing a renewed vitality to the study of Icelandic Canadian literature. They include: the upcoming 400 page edition of Gydinga saga (The Saga of the Jews), which is expected to take its place as the standard edition in the field of Old Norse stud- ies; the recently-completed edition of Saga Heilagrar Önnu (The Saga ofSaint . Anne) on the lives of Icelandic saints; Medieval Scandinavia: An Encyclopaedia, a massive vol- ume of almost 800 pages that brings together the research of some 250 scholars world wide and is expected to become an indispensable tool and refer- ence guide for students and scholars; English translations of Some Principles ofOral Narrative Research, a work by Danish folklorist Axel Olrik and Westem Icelandic Stories; plus Westem Iceiandic Women Writers.
