The Nibelungenlied: with The Klage

Filled with portrayals of deception, love, murder, and revenge--yet defying traditional medieval epic conventions for representing character--the Nibelungenlied is the greatest and most unique epic in Middle High German. The Klage , its consistent companion text in the manuscript tradition, continues the story, detailing the devastating aftermath of the Burgundians' bloody slaughter. William Whobrey's new volume offers both--together for the first time in English--in a prose version informed by recent scholarship that brilliantly conveys to modern readers not only the sense but also the tenor of the originals.
