An excellent and entertaining work that succeeds in achieving its
intended purpose: to create an accessible and readable English
translation of the Poetic Edda . Crawford's knowledge of and
passion for the topic is clear throughout, and he strikes an
excellent balance between approachability and authenticity. I will
most certainly be using this translation when I teach Norse
mythology in the future and will recommend it to anyone looking for
an approachable introduction to the subject. -- Natalie M. Van
