Book excerpt: The Saga of the Volsungs is an Icelandic epic of special interest to admirers of Richard Wagner, who drew heavily upon this Norse source in writing his Ring Cycle and a primary source for writers of fantasy such as J. R. R. Tolkien and romantics such as William Morris. A trove of traditional lore, it tells of love, jealousy, vengeance, war, and the mythic deeds of the dragonslayer, Sigurd the Volsung. Byock's comprehensive introduction explores the history, legends, and myths contained in the saga and traces the development of a narrative that reaches back to the period of the great folk migrations in Europe when the Roman Empire collapsed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years ago, J.R.R. Tolkien composed his own version of the great legend of Northern antiquity, recounted here in The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún. In the Lay of the Völsungs is told the ancestry of the great hero Sigurd, the slayer of Fáfnir, most celebrated of dragons; of his awakening of the Valkyrie Brynhild, who slept surrounded by a wall of fire, and of their betrothal; and of his coming to the court of the great princes who were named the Niflungs (or Nibelungs), with whom he entered into blood-brotherhood. In scenes of dramatic intensity, of confusion of identity, thwarted passion, jealousy, and bitter strife, the tragedy of Sigurd and Brynhild, of Gunnar the Niflung and Gudrún his sister, mounts to its end in the murder of Sigurd, the suicide of Brynhild, and the despair of Gudrún. The Lay of Gudrún recounts her fate after the death of Sigurd, her marriage against her will to the mighty Atli, ruler of the Huns (the Attila of history), his murder of her brothers, and her hideous revenge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Morris's "The Story of Sigurd the Volsung" is an epic story that makes use of Norse myths and the Volsunga Saga to inform a story of bravery, tragedy, and supernatural forces. Morris, an English writer with many competencies, wrote a poetic and bright tale about the famous Norse hero Sigurd that got here out in 1876. The story is set Sigurd, the courageous dragon-slayer, and it has parts approximately love, betrayal, and fate. The principal plot of this story is Sigurd's look for fame and the cursed ring of energy, as well as his doomed love affair with Brynhild. Morris brings returned the grandeur and seriousness of old sagas via his precise fashion of storytelling, which is marked via archaic language and poetic richness. Morris's works are critical due to the fact they had an impact at the Arts and Crafts motion, in addition to having thrilling memories. Along with writing, the author, who changed into an outstanding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, delivered his own drawings to the paintings, ensuing in a clean blend of writing and art. "The Story of Sigurd the Volsung" remains one of the maximum well-known works of Victorian literature. It suggests how determined Morris turned into to carry returned medieval literary conventions and provides to human beings's hobby in Norse mythology.

This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Morris (1834-1896) was an English artist, writer, socialist and activist. He was one of the principal founders of the British arts and crafts movement, best known as a designer of wallpaper and patterned fabrics, a writer of poetry and fiction and a pioneer of the socialist movement in Britain. Morris and his friends formed an artistic movement, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. They eschewed the tawdry industrial manufacture of decorative arts and architecture and favoured a return to hand-craftsmanship, raising artisans to the status of artists. He espoused the philosophy that art should be affordable, hand-made, and that there should be no hierarchy of artistic mediums. His best-known works are The Defence of Guinevere, and Other Poems (1858), Hopes and Fears for Art (1882), Chants for Socialists (1885), A Dream of John Ball: A King's Lesson (1888), The House of the Wolfings (1889), Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair (1895), Old French Romances (1896), The Well at the World's End (1896), and The Hollow Land (1897).
