He may also be the author of one of the finest of the Sagas of Icelanders, Egils saga. His Heimskringla is the best account of medieval Scandinavian history, and his Edda is a masterpiece of organization, wit and irony. As he is depicted in contemporary records, Snorri was not an attractive character, but he is acknowledged to be one of Iceland’s greatest writers, and appears in his books as urbane, intelligent and sensitive. The latter rebelled against the king and was killed in 1240, and Snorri also became subject to the king’s displeasure and in 1241 was killed in his own cellar at Skalholt. Snorri acquired great wealth and power and was twice lawspeaker at the Icelandic parliament (Althingi), and twice visited Norway where he became embroiled in the politics of King Hakon Hakonarson and the king’s father-in-law, Earl Skuli. He belonged to an aristo cratic family, the Sturlungar, who gave their name to the period of violence and turmoil in the early thirteenth century which led to the loss of Icelandic independence to the king of Norway in 1262-4. Snorri sturluson, historian, poet and politician, was bom at Hvamm in western Iceland in 1179. He retells the old stories in a laconic, ironic, sometimes allusive and abrupt style, the flavour of which this first complete and literal translation into English attempts to preserve.ĮDDA Translated and edited by A N T H O N Y FAULKES University of BirminghamĬhronology o f Early Icelandic Literature IntroductionĪnnotated Index o f Names Index o f Metrical Terms Snorri shows considerable sympathy for and understanding of his pagan forefathers. The "Edda" contains the most extensive account of Norse myths and legends that have survived from the Middle Ages as well as the famous stories of Odin winning back the mead of poetic inspiration and Thor fishing for the Midgard serpent.
Ironically, Snorri was killed in his cellar in Iceland in 1241 on the instigation of the king of Norway, as a result of political intrigue. His work surveys the content, style and metres of traditional Viking poetry and includes a lengthy poem of Snorrie's own, honoring the king of Norway. Midway Games Warner Bros.Over a period of twenty years Snorri Sturluson, scholar, courtier and poet, compiled the prose "Edda" as a textbook for young poets who wished to praise kings.
