About this book
The Edda, Volume 1: The Divine Mythology of the North is a 1902 study by L. Winifred Faraday (1872-1948), the English philologist who was among the first women to work professionally in Old Norse and Celtic scholarship. Published in the Popular Studies in Mythology, Romance and Folklore series by David Nutt of London, the small volume introduces the mythological poems of the Poetic Edda, the Icelandic collection preserved in the Codex Regius, covering Odin, Thor, Loki, the world-tree Yggdrasil, and the doom of the gods at Ragnarok. Faraday, sister of the Manchester scholar Wilfred Faraday, also translated the Táin Bó Cúailnge from the Irish. The pair of Edda booklets gave English readers a compact scholarly gateway to Norse myth.
