Bibliography
`Her textual analysis is ... excellent and challenging, and her
notes on the manuscript tradition illuminating her comments are
instructive ... the work is a remarkable achievement, throwing new
light on the background and composition of the texts examined: the
comments are most instructive, and the discussions open new
perspectives. An outstanding book, henceforth indispensable for all
students of the Poetic Edda.'
Dr Edgar Polome, The Journal of Indo-European Studies
`For lovers of the Poetic Edda, this volume will be a prized
possession, enabling scholars and amateur enthusiasts alike to
enter with ease into the daunting world of mythological poems...
this is an edition of great power and potential influence... from
now on it is likely that most English-speaking readers of the
Poetic Edda will wish to take Edda II for their authoritative of
Voluspa and the other poems.'
Richard North, Saga-Book
