Description
TOLKIEN'S VERSE IN SIGURD & GUDRUN IS INTENTIONALLY so condensed and so allusive that it is easy to miss the plot on a first reading. This table is intended to provide a convenient summary. It also indicates which major elements of the existing primary world legendarium Tolkien used for his purposes, and which he rejected. I have relied on Christopher Tolkien's endnotes and have also compared Tolkien to his sources. A third goal is to show what use of these elements Tolkien made in his other fiction. I have not attempted to compare Tolkien to other modern treatments of the story (Richard Wagner, William Morris). Throughout the table I use J.R.R. Tolkien's [JRRT's] names for the characters, even when discussing sources that give them different names (Gudrun for Kriemhild, etc).
