THE VIGIL OF BRUNHILD
A NARRATIVE POEM, IN BLANK VERSE
Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. net
The name of Brunhild raises memories of tragedy, of her rivalry with the murderous Fredegonde, and of her cruel death by wild horses. But, though she is one of the greatest figures in early French history, she has never been celebrated, so far as is known, in English poetry; nor has she received the honour she deserves from her own countrymen.
In this poem the author refrains from any sensational description of her end. Brunhild is represented as giving an account of her life and of its high political aims in blank verse of a high standard, which is worthy of her romantic life and of her coloured history.
