What reading level is Runic And Heroic Poems of the Old Teutonic Peoples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I. 17-23.
Here Wdaly Walczerz (Walter the Strong) is a Polish count who carries off Helgunda, a Frankish princess, whose love he has won by nightly serenades. At the Rhone he is overtaken by the betrothed of the princess, who challenges him to battle. The pursuer is slain and Walczerz carries home his bride to Tynecz by Cracow. The sequel, which relates how Walczerz is betrayed by Helgunda, cast into prison and helped in the end to vengeance by the sister of his gaoler, has nothing to do with t...he original story.
It has been suggested that the version found in piSriks saga represents the original form of the story. This is most improbable; for while Guthhere appears in Waldhere, by at least two centuries the earliest in point of date, the episode in piSriks saga has gone through the ballad process of simplification. It is unfortunate that so little remains of Waldhere ; but it may be assumed that in general outlines it followed the story of Waltharius. It varied of course in detail ; the characterisation of the heroine is vastly the Heroic Poems 41 different.
