Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sigurd: A Poem The story of Sigurd, or Siegfried (of which the best-known versions are probably the old Nibelungenlied, and Wagner´s famous tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen), has been told by so many people, and in such a variety of ways, that no excuse is offered by the writer for adding one more variation to the collection. In the following poem the hero is depicted as a young Norse rover, a wanderer not only by land but by sea, this latter innovation seeming to lend itself quite naturally to the established legend. The action is supposed to take place about the middle of the fifth century, that eventful period which may be said to mark the end of the ancient, and the beginning of the modern, world. The story of Sigurd, like most legendary stories, was probably based upon an actual historic occurrence; but when, where, or by whom the tale was first put together no one knows. It is found in the literature of all the Germanic peoples; and it was an especial favorite among the Norse races who, after the withdrawal of the Roman garrisons, settled in such preponderating numbers in Britain.
