Professor Carolyne Larrington on
Frost and Fire, the Dragon, Wolf and Raven – the world of the Poetic Edda
The Old Norse Poetic Edda is one of the greatest bodies of mythic and heroic verse in the world. It influenced poets as diverse as Thomas Gray, Matthew Arnold, William Morris, and W. H Auden.
In this talk, Professor Carolyne Larrington, the poems’ premiere English translator and author of The Norse Myths and Land of the Green Man, reads from her translation and discusses the background to these fascinating and beautiful works.
