The Poetic Edda: The Mythological Poems by
4.0
Interesting print, a bit small not comfortable to read. Format is new, the stanzas are on top and the explanations are on the bottom. The explanations add more info but it doesn’t necessarily all stay in one page, it tends to continue to next page and I have noticed stanzas do the same. Said explanations are a bit like notes from a researcher. I think the explanations under the stanzas start telling too much info in one paragraph that doesn’t correlate to the current page, it is a bit frustrating. Repetition on the notes is never ending. Even so this book is a reprint, it is important that there’s no bibliography only acknowledgment of people that helped and mentions of history and locations in the introduction. The more I would read the book the more I would feel the effects of the font, at the end I just wanted to finish the book as soon as possible.
