Abstract
This article presents a review of family sagas theory (family novels) as a genre. A family saga derives from Medieval Saga, but in contemporary meaning it is an extensive epic story about the history of the family. The purpose of the article is to organize earlier concepts and create a consistent model of a traditional family saga. It is also an introduction to the study of contemporary representations of this genre.
