George Webbe Dasent

    Sir George Webbe Dasent bol významný prekladateľ a zberateľ ľudových rozprávok, ktorý sa zameral predovšetkým na škandinávsku literatúru a mytológiu. Jeho diela obohatili anglický jazyk o klasické severské príbehy a ságy. Dasentove preklady, ako napríklad "Popular Tales from the Norse" a "The Story of Burnt Njal", sú cenené pre svoju vernosť originálu a zároveň pre svoju čítanosť. Jeho hlboký záujem o folklór a jeho schopnosť sprístupniť tieto bohaté kultúrne poklady anglicky hovoriacim čitateľom z neho robia dôležitú postavu v oblasti literárneho prekladu.

      "Over a period of twenty years Snorri Sturluson, scholar, courtier and poet, compiled the prose Edda as a textbook for young poets who wished to praise kings. His work surveys the content, style and metres of traditional Viking poetry and includes a lengthy poem of Snorrie's own, praising the king of Norway. Ironically, Snorri was killed in his own cellar in Iceland in 1241 on the instigation of the king of Norway, as a result of political intrigue. The Edda contains the most extensive account of Norse myths and legends that has survived from the Middle Ages as well as the popular stories of Odin winning back the mead of poetic inspiration and Thor fishing for the Midgard serpent" -- provided by publisher
