In dieser Arbeit wird der Versuch unternommen, dem besonderen Weltverständnis des Dichters auf analytischem Wege nahezukommen, von der Voraussetzung ausgehend, dass jedes Kunstwerk eine eigengesetzliche Ganzheit darstellt. Im Ganzen handelt es sich um etwa fünfzig Erzählungen aus der Zeit von 1920 bis 1954, eine Auswahl, die groß genug ist, um als repräsentativ gelten zu können, gleichzeitig aber zu groß, als dass eine erschöpfende Behandlung möglich wäre.

This thorough study of the moral values of the "Nibelungen" and of their paradoxical behavior posits the work as an indictment of a society that results time and again in collective human tragedy. Told with tragic insight, yet sympathetically, the epic may well be described as the story of man, the victim of himself. Mueller analyzes the work in three chapters, focused on substance, essence and significance, in order to make the epic poem relevant to a modern audience.

From Madame de Staël, Dumas, and Taine, to Giraudoux, Adamov, Ionesco, and the existentialists, this study provides a fascinating account of the progress of Kleist's reception in France from complete rejection in 1807 to spectacular critical and public acclaim in the 1950s. Richardson argues that Kleist's success in France disproves the traditional idea that his work is "unexportable" and shows the conditions that led to his positive reception outside Germany.

In this volume the poet Herman Salinger translates Hagelstange's poem into verse with the original German on facing pages. An introductory essay by Charles W. Hoffmann gives context on Hagelstange and the ballad.
