"The Younger Edda" or "Prose Edda" is a unique monument of both ancient Icelandic and medieval literature, created in the early thirteenth century by the Icelandic poet, historian and politician Snorri Sturluson (which is why it is also known as "Snorri's Edda"). Its uniqueness lies in its genre. On the one hand, it is a prose compendium of stories about pagan gods and heroes of the Ancient North (which is why it is called the Prose Edda, as opposed to the Poetic (Elder) Edda). On the other hand, this work is a textbook, the only one of its kind, on the poetry of the Skalds. Therefore, The Younger Edda is valuable not only as a source of information on Norse mythology, but also as a source of knowledge on the poetic tradition of the Skalds, poetic vocabulary, metrics, and imagery.
