The other poems of the Elder Edda provide counterparts to both its form and subject; look for the characters we encounter in the V\u00f6lusp\u00e1 and how poetic meter changes from poem to poem.<\/em><\/p>\n Thorpe, Benjamin, trans. \u201cV\u00f6lusp\u00e2.

Also includes the other poems of the Elder Edda and Snorri’s Prose Edda.<\/em><\/p>\n First and foremost, Professor Matthew Delvaux provided constant advice and guidance during the paper and throughout the course; thank you for making this paper and this class possible. It has been a wonderful semester. Mitra Abbaspour was very generous with her time and expertise on the museum exhibition craft. Julia Stern and Kate Wesely-Jones provided moral support throughout the project, and each and every member of our seminar shaped how I viewed the Viking Age. I would also like to thank all those who made our trip in Denmark possible\u2014from the scholars, to the drivers and hotel personnel, to those behind the scenes working the Humanities Council at Princeton. And, as always, thanks to my parents.<\/p>\n \u00ab Previous<\/a> | Home<\/a> | Next \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Primary Sources Heaney, Seamus. \u201cNorth.\u201d In North.
