About the book

Selected and edited by Elizabeth Magee, Legends of the Ring brings together the Scandinavian and German traditions behind the cursed treasure of the Nibelungs. Tales of Sigurd, known in German tradition as Siegfried, unfold through dragon-slaying, heroic deeds, broken promises and revenge. Drawing on the Volsung and Eddic traditions and the Nibelungenlied, the collection reveals the different forms these stories took before Richard Wagner reshaped their material for his Ring cycle. Gods, warriors and rival families inhabit a legendary world in which the pursuit of wealth and honour can carry a terrible cost.
