The Poetic Edda by Unknown

2.0

The Poetic Edda is filled with many interesting stories. There is only one problem, there is extant another book filled with the same stories. This book is presented in a format better suited to stories, prose. This book is most suited for scholars studying this tradition, and poets interested in learning new forms. Of course to learn the forms you also need to read the prose Edda. Snorri gives a confusing, not well exampled explanation of every known form. For the reader interested solely in the stories themselves the prose Edda is the way to go.
