"The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a Modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it
 is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of
 huge historical, mythological and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about
 the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc. Jackson
 Crawford's modern versions of these poems are authoritative and fluent and often very gripping.  With their individual
 headnotes and complementary general introduction, they supply today's readers with most of what they need to know in order
 to understand and appreciate the beliefs, motivations, and values of the Vikings."
