It aims to make the intricate themes and historical significance of the Nibelung saga accessible to a broader audience, providing insight into the narrative structures and cultural implications of these ancient tales. The opening of the book sets the stage by reflecting on the historical background of the Nibelung saga, particularly how it was influenced by the socio-political climate in Germany during and after the Thirty Years' War. Holz discusses how the interest in these epic tales revived over time, especially in the 18th century, as scholars and audiences became more attuned to their cultural significance. He outlines the various sources from which the saga has been derived, emphasizes the complexity of its transmission through oral traditions, and prepares the reader for a detailed exploration of the legends that have shaped German literary heritage. This introduction expertly contextualizes the narrative that follows, making it clear that the study is as much about the legends themselves as it is about their enduring impact on culture and identity.
