Abstract: "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.
