Opis

This work is by Jacob Grimm, one of the famous Grimm brothers, and best known as a mythologist and etymologist. Teutonic mythology has had a notable impact on modern literature and culture, perhaps most notably in the operas of Wagner. Although the German edition was called Deutsch it is translated as teutonic to convey its wider interests: Germans, Anglo-Saxons, Scandinavians, Goths and other Northern Europeans and all their teutonic dialects. This set reprints the translation of the fourth German edition which is arranged in chapters by subjects such as: heroes, elves, fire, saga and the devil, with notes and an appendix.
