The poems started in Iceland, Norway, and Greenland between your ninth and 13th generations, when these were compiled in a distinctive manuscript known as the Codex Regius. The poems are mainly lyrical somewhat than narrative.

Poems of the Elder Edda will appeal to students of Old Norse, Icelandic, and Medieval literature, as well as to general visitors and listeners of poetry. This sound version presents each poem accompanied by the translator's records.
