The Poetic Edda by

5.0

I wanted to take my time reading each page of this book and I'm glad I spaced it out as long as I did. I would put it down and come back to it. I plan on doing another read sometime in the near future where I actually study what is going on in each poem. I chose this translation based on reviews I had read online of reliable copies and I would say that I agree with these opinions. As I cannot read the original language (at this time) I depend on the translator to get it right context wise. I enjoyed this copy because there were other poems included that were not included in the Codex Regius. Overall great translation and a nice little paperback copy I can carry around with me. If you've been thinking of reading some Norse Mythology, the Edda is for sure the place to start and I highly recommend this edition.
