Book Description
Excerpt from The Nibelungenlied and Gudrun in England and America For the matter of these introductory sections I am indebted to the recognised editions and to the works mentioned in the bibliographies and text; the chief sources for the rest of the work were, of course, the catalogues of the British Museum, the Cambridge University Library, the Bodleian Library, and the Taylor Institution, Oxford. The publishers catalogues, the Annual American Catalogue, indexes of periodicals, and the chief bibliographical works have also been searched, and some material has been found by examining large numbers of books with such promising titles as those mentioned in the Appendix. The references to the Nibelungen and Gudrun sagas in Anglo-Saxon and Middle English literature are, except where otherwise stated, mentioned, but not discussed, in G. Binz's Zeugnisse zur germanischen Sage in England (P.B.B., xx. 190 ff.), an article concerned mainly with the occurrence in England of names taken from the old sagas. In conclusion, I must express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Breul and Professor Fiedler for their valuable suggestions and encouraging interest. To the former I am especially indebted for suggesting the subject, and to the latter for his kindness in reading the proofs. Francis E. Sandbach. The University, Birmingham, May 16, 1903. P.S. - This work would have been issued in December 1903 but for the fire at Messrs. Leighton, s, in which the entire stock was destroyed.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Many years ago, J.R.R. Tolkien composed his own version of the great legend of Northern antiquity, recounted here in The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún. In the Lay of the Völsungs is told the ancestry of the great hero Sigurd, the slayer of Fáfnir, most celebrated of dragons; of his awakening of the Valkyrie Brynhild, who slept surrounded by a wall of fire, and of their betrothal; and of his coming to the court of the great princes who were named the Niflungs (or Nibelungs), with whom he entered into blood-brotherhood. In scenes of dramatic intensity, of confusion of identity, thwarted passion, jealousy, and bitter strife, the tragedy of Sigurd and Brynhild, of Gunnar the Niflung and Gudrún his sister, mounts to its end in the murder of Sigurd, the suicide of Brynhild, and the despair of Gudrún. The Lay of Gudrún recounts her fate after the death of Sigurd, her marriage against her will to the mighty Atli, ruler of the Huns (the Attila of history), his murder of her brothers, and her hideous revenge.
