Publisher's Synopsis

The Prose Edda, also known as the Younger Edda, Snorri's Edda, and simply Edda, was written in Old Norse during the thirteenth century in Iceland. Snorri Sturluson, a distinguished poet, legislator, and frequent visitor to Norway's royal court, determined in 1220 to assemble Norse mythology's narratives and poetic practises before they faded under the influence of Christianity and European poem forms. The Prose Edda is the result, a rare peek into early Norse mythology.
