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.
