I am plunging into Kristin Lavransdatter and
I’m liking it so far, it definitely is starting to slowly build some excitement (I’m around 100 pages into the first book).
From everything I’ve heard, the entire trilogy is not only entertaining but very beautifully written by Undset. My question is whether I’m missing something by reading the Archer & Scott version. Does one version have more superior prose? As a reader, I’m usually drawn into very literary, “pretty” writing, so I definitely want to continue with whichever option suits that!
