Autorenporträt
Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241) was an Icelandic historian, poet, and politician, renowned for his contributions to medieval Scandinavian literature. His name is most closely associated with the 'Prose Edda' or 'The Younger Edda', one of the most significant sources of Norse mythology and a crucial text for understanding Old Norse prose. Sturluson's 'Prose Edda' is distinguished not only by its comprehensive account of Norse myths but also for the detailed poetics contained within, offering insights into the skaldic poetry traditions of his time. His works are considered masterpieces for their structure, and the fusion of high narrative art with historical detail. Sturluson's ability to blend past legends with his contemporary culture showcases his mastery in literature and historiography. In addition to the 'Prose Edda', which was intended as a handbook for aspiring poets to understand the subtleties of scaldic verse, Sturluson authored the 'Heimskringla', a chronicle of the Norwegian kings, which reflects his exceptional narrative skill and use of historical and legendary sources. Despite his literary achievements, Snorri's career as a lawspeaker at Iceland's Althing and his involvement in Icelandic politics is marked by complexity and controversy. His political entanglements eventually led to his demise, yet his literary legacy endures, cementing his reputation as one of the foremost figures in medieval Scandinavian culture (Faulkes, 1995).
