The Saga of the Confederates

This saga did seem to have some elements which indicated a different or later time frame from the previous sagas. One element which I noticed, was the increased amount of dialogue between the characters in this saga. I though this could reflect a later telling of the story or a change in the structure of how they presented and recorded their stories. Another thing i noticed, was the structure of the poems. They seemed to be a little easier to understand and to flow like normal sentences, rather than being made up of mostly symbolism. Whether this reflects the change in time period or is just a nice change in the form of poetry, I am not entirely sure.
I also thought it was strange on page 469 where Ospak meets the woman Svalva, and eventually married her. It seemed to imply in the saga that she owned or was in charge of her own farm and property. This is something that i do not recall being present in the previous sagas. Also, on page 490, the Christian holidays, Christmas and Easter, are mentioned as part of the yearly festivities. I think this would reflect a later time period, showing how Christianity had taken hold in Iceland and was now accepted.
