Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The growing research interest in the ANibelungenliedA and problems
of heroic literature in general has also led to heightened interest
in AKudrunA. The verse epic is much influenced by the
ANibelungenliedA and is cast in a stanza form derived from the
ANibelungenA stanza. At the same time it presents a complementary
view of the events in question. Here the decline of heroism is not
the main theme of the plot but its replacement by the new, gentler
spirit of courtly mores. In its central section the poem is a paean
to the superiority of female constancy and capacity for
uncomplaining suffering over the gory heroics of the declining era.
