…A collection of songs written in Old Norse from the 9th to the 13th century. There is another introductory book on poetics, the Edda, written by the 13th-century Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson. To distinguish between these two books, the former is called the Poetic Edda, the Song Edda, or the Sämund's Edda, and the latter is called the Neo Edda, the Prose Edda, or the Snorri's Edda. The Poetic Edda is a collection of ancient songs from Germanic mythology and heroic legends, consisting of 29 songs from an ancient manuscript discovered in Skálholt, Iceland in 1643, with some added from later periods. … From Snorri Sturluson…He was active as a poet and legal herald, but was caught up in a political struggle involving the Norwegian king's ambitions for Iceland and was killed by an assassin. There are mixed opinions about whether Egil's Saga is his work, but the Heimskringla, which is a powerful account of the history of the Norwegian dynasty from ancient times to 1177, is still highly valuable today as a unique example of Nordic history, and Snorri's Edda, written as an introductory book for poets, is famous as a treasure trove of Nordic mythology and as an introduction to poetics, including explanations of poetic language and meter.
