Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the second half of the Nibelungenlied, an epic poem from the 12th century that tells the story of the Burgundian hero Siegfried and his love for the warrior queen Kriemhild. The author argues that the second half of the poem, which focuses on Kriemhild's revenge for Siegfried's murder, is a later addition to the original story, influenced by other heroic tales and historical events. Drawing on historical research and literary analysis, the book explores the complex themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the nature of heroism that are central to the Nibelungenlied and other works of medieval literature. Through a detailed examination of the poem's structure, characters, and motifs, the author sheds new light on the development and significance of one of the most enduring works of German literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
