Description:Excerpt from Life Stories for Young People: Gudrun Translated From the German of Ferdinand Schmidt The charming story of "Gudrun" is a romance of the old heroic period, written by some unknown poet of Austria or Bavaria in the thirteenth century. Next to the "Nibelungen Lied," it is the most important of the German epic poems. Indeed some of the personae in "Gudrun" are found in the "Lied," though varying in personal characteristics, probably because they were taken from different legends. The scenes of "Gudrun" are principally laid along the shores of the North Sea and in Normandy. The men and women in this poem resemble generally those in the "Lied." The same elemental passions are depicted. The men are brave, vigorous heroes, rejoicing in battle and feats of prowess; the women are beautiful, constant, and courageous. There are many fine delineations of character in the original, as well as vigorous sketches of northern scenery. The figure of Gudrun stands out in bold relief among the maidens.
