"The Younger Edda; Also called Snorre's Edda, or The Prose Edda" by Snorri Sturluson is an Old Norse textbook written in Iceland during the early 13th century. This comprehensive guide to Norse mythology and poetic composition serves as the fullest source for understanding the myths of the North Germanic peoples. Through question-and-answer dialogues, lists of poetic devices, and discussions of traditional verse, it functioned as a textbook helping Icelandic poets master the
complex art of skaldic poetry and interpret ancient mythological references. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
