The Wanderer's Hávamál
Jackson Crawford2019

"Hávamál, 'Words of the High One' - purportedly delivering the wisdom of Odin in his own voice - is one of the most important mythological poems of the Poetic Edda and simply the most important witness to early Norse cultural ethics. Jackson Crawford has now given us a clean text and a new facing-page translation in contemporary idiom.
A highly trained linguist, Crawford has already published with Hackett a complete translation of the whole of the famous ancient anthology, the Poetic Edda, and acquired many fans for his YouTube videos teaching Old Norse. Crawford is a poet in his own right with a recognizably Western voice. A scholarly reader by Crawford's informal style.
All in all, a fresh start on the mysteries of this classic".
