He included lots of the old myths and stories so that people would know how to use them in the poetry. Snorri wrote the Prose Edda as an instruction manual on how to write the kind of old-fashioned poetry he liked. Partially because of this, the kind of poetry Snorri liked was becoming unpopular and was being replaced by new styles of poetry. During Snorri's times, however, the Christian Church strongly discouraged anything that was connected with the heathen past. Snorri was a great poet as well as a great writer, and he preferred an old-fashioned kind of poetry that made much use of the pre-Christian Scandinavian mythological material. He wrote a number of books, including one best known as the Prose Edda, which contains a great deal of Scandinavian mythological material. The most famous medieval Icelandic writer was Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241). ![]() ![]() ![]() At first their writings were largely concerned with Christian religious materials, but in time they became interested in writing about their own culture and history as well.
