"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.
