About The Poetic Edda: Volume II: Mythological Poems
Product Description This new edition of mythological poems from the Poetic Edda takes the reader deep into the imagination of the Viking poets (c.1000 AD). Setting text and translation side by side, Dronke provides full introductions and commentaries for each of the poems. Review "...the work is a remarkable achievement, throwing new light on the background and composition of the texts examined: the comments are most instructive, and the discussions open new perspectives. An outstanding book, henceforth indispensable for all students of the Poetic Edda."-- The Journal of Indo-European Studies About the Author Ursula Dronke is at Linacre College, Oxford.
