This collection of essays introduces significant critical approaches to the mythological poetry of the Poetic Edda: a principal source for Old Norse cosmography and the legends of Odin, Loki and Thor. By applying theoretical approaches (feminist, structuralist and post-structuralist) to each of the major poems, this volume of essays seeks to yield a variety of powerful and convincing readings.
