Excerpt from Hebbel's Nibelungen, Vol. 3: Its Sources, Method, and Style
The following study was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor Calvin Thomas. Since its inception many valuable additions have been made to Hebbel literature, notable beyond all others the editions of Hebbel's works, journals, and letters by Professor R. M. Werner, which have opened the way for further investigations. Even a few years ago, Hebbel had but a small circle of admirers, of critics, who appreciated the significance of his genius. Now he is beginning to come into his own as one of the three greatest German dramatists of the nineteenth century. And, as the ripest product of his genius and one of the few dramatic versions of the Nibelungen saga which has found favor on the stage, Hebbel's "Nibelungen" offers an interesting field for investigation into its sources and workmanship.
It is a pleasure to express my gratitude to all of my instructors, and particularly to thank Professors W. H. Carpenter and Calvin Thomas of Columbia University for assistance and encouragement in this work. I desire, also, to express my thanks to Professor Richard M. Werner of the University of Lemberg, Austria, and to Professor William Addison Hervey of Columbia University for valuable advice and suggestions.
