Between August and November, Dr. Holland will hold weekly virtual sessions on Norse mythology. We will begin with The Poetic Edda; the recommended translation is Jackson Crawford's The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse Gods and Heroes (Hackett Classics). Within the context of our Norwegian culture and heritage, we will benefit by learning the literature and explore what it means to be human.
Participants may attend one or all discussion sessions, which will be held virtually. A reading guide and the discussion method will be provided.
