The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson, translated by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur (New York: American-Scandinavian Foundation, 1916). Public domain in the United States (published before 1931); the translator died in 1971, so it may still be protected in countries with longer terms. Transcribed and proofread by English Wikisource volunteers. · Source ↗
