Summary

"This study explores the very topical subject of intergenerational relationships in four heroic epics ("Kudrun" "The Great Rose Garden", "Biterolf and Dietleib", "Hürnen Seyfrid"), which make reference to the Nibelungenlied [Song of the Nibelungs] written around 1200, in particular to the figure of Kriemhild. The analysis covers aspects of family history and also genealogical and gender-specific aspects. The intertextual relationship of these four epics to the Nibelungenlied is also elucidated from a text generation perspective."--Publisher's website.
