Seven sagas about uncivilised state (10)

I believe the answer is:

savageness

'uncivilised state' is the definition.
(I know this)

'seven sagas about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'seven'+'sagas'='sevensagas'
'sevensagas' anagrammed gives 'SAVAGENESS'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
