At the risk of protracting the decision making process, I'm thinking

it might be a bit superfluous us doing Hervararkviða here (The Waking

of Angantýr), since -- as I mentioned -- there's already a fully

parsed version online [

with a translation.  Also, I'm not sure whether we'd get it finished

by the end of the month.

 

I'm inclining towards Hjálmarskviða.

 

It's good and doom-laden and fierce, and pretty short (if we take the

Hervarar saga version), not too complicated language, but it does

introduce some distinctive features of Old Norse poetic diction.

Might be a good place to start so that we can gauge how long it takes,

and we should be finished by October.  If there's still an appetite

for poetry, some people can always do Grottasöngr or Völundarkviða

either alongside Njáls saga or in the next interlude.

 

How's that sound?  And if we're done in plenty of time, we could have

something else till we're ready.
