Opis

The Nibelungen Tradition brings together in one volume all of the literary and extra-literary references pertinent to the Nibelungen tradition. This work is intended as a reference guide to pre-literary and literary sources of the Nibelungen tales; from the reception of the theme in art, music, sculpture, film and modern literature to its application in 20th century military, politics and propaganda. This reference provides an analysis of all the primary literary sources, thumbnail sketches of characters and places, significant motifs and concepts, the historical background to the tradition and of the most important scholarship to date on the topic.
