The Poetic Edda by Carolyne Larrington
A lively, readable translation and introduction to the medieval Icelandic corpus of mythic and heroic poems, presenting the origins and destinies of gods, the exploits of legendary heroes, and the moral and cosmological ideas of the Norse world; the volume pairs faithful renderings of often fragmentary Old Norse verse with clear commentary, historical context, and notes on language and poetic form to make the material accessible to modern readers.
