Hi,

Recently I translated and posted online a Danish article by Annette Lassen of the University of Copenhagen regarding the controversial Eddic poem Hrafnagaldur Odins. It was presented at the 2006 International Saga Conference.

The article is significant because it is one of the few articles written on the poem by modern scholars. Better yet, it summarizes the scholarship from the 1800s that discredited the poem as a late imitation, and reviews the modern arguments for and against the poem published in Iceland in the early 2000s.

You can find my facing text translation at:

Your feedback and comments are welcome onlist or in private. If you spot any errors or typos, please let me know.

Enjoy!
