The term 'Norse Literary Work' can be summarized by the four-letter word 'Edda'. The Edda is a collection of Old Norse poems and stories from the 13th century. It is the most important source of Norse mythology and contains stories about gods, giants, and heroes. It is divided into two parts: the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. The Poetic Edda is a collection of mythological and heroic poems, while the Prose Edda is a handbook for skaldic poetry.
