The Younger Edda

The Younger Edda, also known as Snorre's Edda or The Prose Edda, is a book written by Rasmus B. Anderson. It is a collection of Norse mythology and legends, compiled in the 13th century by Icelandic poet and historian Snorri Sturluson. The book is divided into three parts: Gylfaginning (the deluding of Gylfi), Skaldskaparmal (the language of poetry), and Hattatal (the list of meters). Gylfaginning tells the story of the creation of the world and the Norse gods, while Skaldskaparmal explores the techniques and styles of Norse poetry. Hattatal is a list of poetic meters used in Norse literature. The Younger Edda is a valuable resource for those interested in Norse mythology and literature, and has influenced many works of fantasy and fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
