📢Out Now in OA: 'The #Poetic#Edda: A Dual-Language Edition' by Edward Pettit
📚 This book is an edition and translation of one of the most important and celebrated sources of #OldNorse-Icelandic mythology and heroic legend, namely the medieval poems now known collectively as the #PoeticEdda or #ElderEdda.
Included are thirty-six texts, which are mostly preserved in #medieval#manuscripts, especially the thirteenth-century Icelandic codex traditionally known as the #CodexRegius of the Poetic Edda.
The accompanying translations, informed by the latest scholarship, are concisely annotated to make them as accessible as possible.
As the first open-access, single-volume parallel #OldNorse edition and English translation of the Poetic Edda, this book will prove a valuable resource for students and scholars of Old Norse literature.
