I am very interested in Skaldic poetry.
It doesn't make much sense to read bad translations
when you want to find a way to the different kinds of alliteration,you
must be able to read the original sources.
...and I am already learning recent Norwegian and Swedish
so i think it's useful know something about the origins of these languages.
