[Next Project] The Poetic Edda, by Anonymous

[Galen Hazelwood]

Since my first project went so well, I think I'll press my luck and jump straight to a much harder one, and see if I can pull it off. I'll tackle the Bellows translation of the Poetic Edda, from the "Moderate Difficulty" section,

I'm going to probably be asking a bunch of dumb questions as I work through this; apologies in advance.

Hmmm.. I'm not sure why this is on the moderate difficulty list, I would
classify it as a top tier advanced production. Very complex poetry
format with hundreds of endnotes and possibly a glossary. I'm going to
move it to advanced and suggest you try something else for now.

Naturally, five minutes after I sent the message, I found a better version at the internet archive.

Did you see my reply to the thread? I think this one is too advanced for
now - it belongs on the advanced section of the wanted list. You should
try a less difficult book first before moving on to this one.

Nope, I didn't see it. I was wondering why nobody was replying.

I've made some progress, but will shelve this one for now and choose something else.
