About this book
Women of the Teutonic Nations calls the account of Emma carrying Eginhard through freshly fallen snow to conceal his footprints an unauthenticated legend. The account of the sleeping beauty describes Siegmund's son Siegfried, also named Sigurd, penetrating the fire and carrying away the divine bride, kissed to life again. The discussion identifies Dornroschen and Sneewittchen as fairy tales derived from the account, and describes Dornroschen as making the Valkyrie Brunhild a princess and the glowing flame a hedge of thorns.
The quoted speech in the carnival play Vom Venusberg presents Venus as the protectress of love, claiming power over rich and poor, young and old. The account of Catharine says her policy was dominated by a desire to enlarge Russia and extend central rule, and describes the Kalmuck tribes' exodus in 1771.
