		Snorri lived in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, and his impact as a key thinker comes from his authorship of Edda, an original treatise on traditional Norse poetics and its sources in pagan myth.
		The discovery of the contents of Snorri's Edda coincided with the development of the growing European interest in cultural roots that were not classical, and in the concept of the sublime in literature and art.
