Coles Prose Edda at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

Written in 13th-century Iceland by the poet and historian Snorri Sturluson, The Prose Edda is part cosmic origin story, part poetic handbook, and part mythic encyclopedia. It’s our richest surviving source of Norse mythology—the strange, brutal, radiant tales of Odin, Thor, Loki, and the twilight of the gods.
But The Prose Edda is more than legend. It is a deliberate attempt to preserve a dying world: a pagan past reimagined for a Christian age, cast in prose to explain poetry, and passed down to ensure that the old stories outlive their time. Within its pages, the Norse cosmos opens like a riddle—wild, cold, and profound.
Snorri writes with clarity and cunning, arranging the raw materials of oral tradition into a coherent, almost literary architecture. The result is both source and scripture: a guide to the poetic language of the skalds, and a sacred relic of the northern imagination.
