Jackson W. Crawford (born August 28, 1985) is an American scholar, translator and poet who specializes in Old Norse.
His stated goal was to make an accessible translation for readers primarily interested in mythology rather than poetry or textual scholarship.
[9] Crawford has also contributed to the 2020 video game Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, where he consulted on topics mainly centered around linguistics.
[10] Crawford is a public educator on his YouTube channel where he lectures on Old Norse language and discusses literature and mythology.
He says there is a great interest in Old Norse material, but much of what can be found on the Internet is unreliable, and he wants to provide accessible information that is separate from both popular culture and mystical practices.
