The performance of Eddic poetry -interview with professor Terry Gunnell

In this interview I talk with Dr. Terry Gunnell, professor of folkloristics and expert in the performance of Eddic poetry at the University of Iceland. We talk about performative aspects of the poems Völuspá and Grímnismál in particular, and also circle around Skírnismál.

I would love to sit in a mead hall and listen to some eddic poerty, what an experience it would be

[@awoods9793]

Does Dr. Gunnel have an audiobook of him reciting eddic poetry? I would love to be able to listen to it the way it should be heard .

This is so interesting; I'd never considered that the oral/aural tradition of a culture could affect how poems and stories are composed, though it seems obvious in hindsight. Thanks for the interview!
