The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs by William Morris
"The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs" by William Morris is an epic poem published in 1876. Spanning over 10,000 lines, it tells the tragic tale of the Norse hero Sigmund, his son Sigurd, and Sigurd's wife Gudrun. Drawing from ancient Icelandic sagas, the poem weaves together divine intervention, family vengeance, dragon-slaying, a cursed treasure, and star-crossed love. Through betrayal and bloodshed, the story follows the doomed
Volsung lineage to its devastating conclusion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
