The Elder Edda: A Selection

In 1969 Faber & Faber published a book of translations of Icelandic poetry under the title "The Elder Edda: A Selection", Translated from the Icelandic by Paul B. Taylor & W. H. Auden, Introduction by Peter H. Salus & Paul B. Taylor, Notes by Peter H. Salus. The poems had been translated into English by Taylor and the translations had been revised and rewritten by Auden. Although the title page attributes the introduction to Salus and Taylor, the second of its six sections, titled "Prosody", was written anonymously by Auden. An American edition of the book was published by Random House in 1970.
