[PAR] [TLE] Aga saga [SEP] The Aga saga is a subgenre of the family saga genre of literature.  The genre is named for the AGA cooker, a type of stored-heat oven that came to be popular in medium to large country houses in the UK after its introduction in 1929.  It refers primarily to fictional family sagas dealing with British "middle-class country or village life".  The nickname "Aga saga" is sometimes used condescendingly about this type of fiction.  The term was incorporated into the "Oxford Companion to English Literature" in 2000. [PAR] [TLE] AGA cooker [SEP] The AGA cooker is a heat storage stove and cooker, which works on the principle that a heavy frame made of cast iron can absorb heat from a relatively low-intensity but continuously burning source, and the accumulated heat can then be used for cooking.  Originally heated by slow-burning coal, the Aga cooker was invented in 1922 by the Nobel Prize–winning Swedish physicist Gustaf Dalén (1869–1937), who was employed first as the chief engineer of the Swedish AGA company (Swedish "Aktiebolaget Svenska Gasaccumulator", English "Swedish Gas Accumulator, Limited").  The cookers were first imported to Britain in 1929, and were first manufactured there under licence in the early 1930s.  The cast-iron parts were first cast at the Coalbrookdale foundry in the 1940s, where they are still made by the Aga Rangemaster Group.
