The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse Gods and Heroes von Anonymous Anonymous
Hollander's translation is virtually unreadable without a dictionary in the other hand and an enormous patience. Will come back to this again with another translation.
An interesting translation of these famous poems from an insightful and erudite translator. An introduction and notes beginning each chapter explain the various poems context and the translation choices the author makes, offering an added layer of depth. I listened to part of this as an audiobook narrated by the author, Jackson Crawford, and found his delivery engaging and nuanced. While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this book as anyone’s first foray into Norse mythology, it is written in an easily accessible style that would be useful for beginners.… (mehr)
Always a pleasure to reread this lyrical and competent translation.
[This rating and review refers to the Crawford translation.]
The newest Edda in my collection, and very readable. Good introductions to the various poems, and while he's tried to keep the poetry intact, it reads more like modern free verse than medieval chant. Some of his modern word choices raise the eyebrows - "cows" for "cattle", "slobber" for "froth".
