-Translated into English by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur.
Along with the older Poetic Edda, Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda is one of the most important works of Old Norse literature. Snorri was a Christian, and the effects of a Christian perspective are apparent in this work, but he nevertheless treats pagan mythology with respect and seriousness.

Unlike the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda is a unified work of a single author, and is intended almost as a historical primer regarding the events described in older Norse works (including the Poetic Edda).
