About this book
The tale of the Grateful Dead, in which a man who sees a stranger properly buried is later helped by the dead man's spirit, is followed here through its versions in many countries. The first chapter reviews earlier scholars in turn, from Karl Simrock, who took the German romance Der gute Gerhard as his starting point, to Benfey, Stephens, Köhler, Liebrecht, Sepp and Cosquin, weighing what each contributed to the question of where the story began and which of its elements are essential. Gordon Hall Gerould then builds on their work with a study of his own.
