The Collection connects directly to the literary tradition that produced works like the 'Prose Edda' and 'the Poetic Edda', texts that shaped global understanding of Norse mythology and influenced writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien and composers like Richard Wagner. The experience combines scholarship, restoration expertise and cultural depth.
