Omschrijving
A translation of the great collection of Norse-Icelandic mythological and heroic poetry known as the Poetic Edda. Populated by Gods, giants, and human heroes, the poems contain the narratives of the creation of the world and the coming of Ragnarok, the Doom of the Gods.
Larringtons version of The Poetic Edda has been beautifully translated, and the flow of each poem is perfect.
A 750-year-old haul of Icelandic verse might not sound like cutting-edge entertainment but these sinewy sagas include such modern elements as gutsy heroines and ultra-violence.
This is a lovingly presented translation of one of the most important works of Norse mythology ... A fabulous collection worthy of multiple readings.
Carolyne Larrington has published widely on Old Norse myth, legends, and literature, inlcuding co-editing two volumes of essays on eddic poetry wiht Paul Acker. Her books include King Arthur's Enchantresses: Morgan and Her Sisters in Arthurian Tradition (IB Tauris, 2006), Magical Tales: Myth, Legend, and Enchantment in Children's Books (with Diane Purkiss, Bodleian Library, 2013), and The Norse Myths: A Guide to the Gods and Heroes (Thames and Hudson, 2017).
