	THE PROSE EDDA - FULL TEXT - IN FOUR PARTS - PART ONE - INTRODUCTION. - BY SNORRI STURLUSON - TRANSLATED FROM THE ...
		THE life of Snorri Sturluson fell in a great but contradictory age, when all that was noble and spiritual in men seemed to promise social regeneration, and when bloody crimes and sordid ambitions gave this hope the lie.
		The evidence for Snorri's authorship of Heimskringla is not conclusive; but Vigfússon's demonstration is accepted by most scholars.[1] We may safely assume, apart from the general tendency of the external evidence, that one and the same author must have written the histories and the Prose Edda.
		Snorri's familiarity with the Elder or Poetic Edda is demonstrated by his frequent quotations from Völuspá, Hávamál, Grímnismál, Vafthrúdnismál, Alsvinnsmál or Alvissmál, and Grottasöngr.

		Snorri sailed the summer of 1218 from Iceland to Norway (A constitutional monarchy in northern Europe on the western side of the Scandinavian Peninsula; achieved independence from Sweden in 1905), by royal invitation.
		Since Sturluson is a patronym (additional info and facts about patronym) and not an actual surname (The name used to identify the members of a family (as distinguished from each member's given name)), Snorri Sturluson should always be referred to as either "Snorri Sturluson" or "Snorri", never as "Sturluson" only.

	Resurrecting a Norse Rhetoric
		Snorri became embroiled in court politics and a nasty succession battle, forcing him to flee to Iceland where he was eventually murdered in his house in 1241 by an associate of King Hákon’s father-in-law (and rival for the throne), Jarl Skúli.
		Snorri’s cataloguing of verseforms, however, owes a lot to an earlier text, Háttalykill, but the large amount of space he devotes to variations on verseforms from that work shows that he was more interested in showing the examples provided by earlier skalds, many of whom are also quoted in Skáldskaparmál, than strictly copying the verseforms.
		Snorri Sturluson “was followed a generation later by his nephew, Óláfr Þórðarson, who wrote a treatise on rhetoric (the second part of which is known as Málskrúðsfræði) which sought to prove the underlying identity of Norse skáldskapr with Latin poetics” (69).

		The heritage of Iceland's greatest medieval writer, poet, scholar and statesman, Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241), is rooted in Reykholt in the west of Iceland.
		It was in Reykholt that Snorri made all his literary achievements, when he wrote the sagas about the Norwegian kings in Heimskringla, the Poetic Edda, which teaches poetics and Nordic mythology, and most probably one of the greatest family sagas, Egils saga Skalla-Grimssonar.

	Psychonomicon's Introduction to the Prose Edda
		Snorri's ruthless handling of these earlier sagas, his sources, is, however, not due solely to his greater critical acumen and stricter regard for truth.
		By denouncing these superstitions Snorri, at one and the same time, administered a rebuke to the clergy, whilst safeguarding himself from any attack on the grounds that he was preaching heathernism to young poets.
		It must be admitted that Snorri's Edda makes an appeal to the modem reader mainly because the author, in relating the Deluding of Gylfi, forgot the chief purpose of his book and, in his account of their doings and destiny, brought the gods to life again entirely for their own sakes.

		In Snorri Sturluson the northern world has had a historian who in many ways can be compared with Thucydides and in some is in nowise inferior to his Greek counterpart.
		Snorri's mother, Guthný, was the daughter of Bothvar Thortharson, who reckoned among his ancestors the redoubted fighter and great poet, Egil Skallagrímsson, as well as the lawspeaker and able skald, Markús Skeggjason; while on the spindle side she was likewise a descendant of Snorri the Priest.
		For his own contemporaries Snorri no doubt was the powerful chieftain known for his munificence as well as his avarice, the lawspeaker who could throw his weight in ones favor or against one, a ruthless intriguer whom it was dangerous to have as one's adversary.
