The poems cover diverse subjects, including the creation, destruction and rebirth of the world, the dealings of gods such as Óðinn, Þórr and Loki with giants and each other, and the more intimate, personal tragedies of the hero Sigurðr, his wife Guðrún and the valkyrie Brynhildr. </p><p>Each poem is provided with an introduction, synopsis and suggestions for further reading. The Old Norse texts are furnished with a textual apparatus recording the manuscript readings behind this edition’s emendations, as well as select variant readings. The accompanying translations, informed by the latest scholarship, are concisely annotated to make them as accessible as possible.</p><p>As the first open-access, single-volume parallel Old Norse edition and English translation of the Poetic Edda, this book will prove a valuable resource for students and scholars of Old Norse literature. It will also interest those researching other fields of medieval literature (especially Old English and Middle High German), and appeal to a wider general audience drawn to the myths and legends of the Viking Age and subsequent centuries.</p> 04 00 Acknowledgements ix Signs and Abbreviations xi Introduction 1 Poems from the Codex Regius of the Poetic Edda (Gammel kongelig Samling 2365 4to) 29 Vǫluspá (Codex Regius) 31 Hávamál 73 Vafþrúðnismál 135 Grímnismál 165 Fǫr Skírnis 207 Hárbarðsljóð 231 Hymiskviða 259 Lokasenna 283 Þrymskviða 325 Vǫlundarkviða 341 Alvíssmál 365 Helgakviða Hundingsbana in fyrri 385 Helgakviða Hjǫrvarðssonar 409 Helgakviða Hundingsbana ǫnnur 433 Frá dauða Sinfjǫtla 457 Grípisspá 461 Reginsmál 479 Fáfnismál 495 Sigrdrífumál 519 Brot af Sigurðarkviðu 537 Guðrúnarkviða in fyrsta 551 Sigurðarkviða in skamma 567 Helreið Brynhildar 595 Dráp Niflunga 605 Guðrúnarkviða ǫnnur 609 Guðrúnarkviða in þriðja 629 Oddrúnargrátr 639 Atlakviða in grœnlenzka 657 Atlamál in grœnlenzku 679 Guðrúnarhvǫt 715 Hamðismál 727 Poems from Other Manuscripts 745 Vǫluspá (Hauksbók) 747 Baldrs draumar 771 Rígsþula 783 Hyndluljóð 805 Svipdagsmál (Gróugaldr and Fjǫlsvinnsmál) 831 Index 863 20 00 Open Access Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 01 20230303 2023 06 15 9781800647725 06 15 9781800647732 06 15 9781800647749 06 15 9781800647787 06 15 9781800647770 06 15 9781800647756 06 15 9781800647763 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0308.pdf 99 01 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0308 99 01
