Starting to suspect I absolutely do not jive with Cyril Edwards' translations. This is also the worst critical apparatus I've seen in forever. Haphazard and confusing endnotes, a baffling glossary, an intro he admits he let someone else write parts of, a map that leaves out at least one key location... It may be the translation's fault but the (anonymous) poet's voice is vile and has the depth of a puddle of piss.

There's no excuse for endnotes this bad.
