Tannhäuser and the Mountain of Venus: A Study in the Legend of the Germanic (Classic Reprint)

The treatment of the Tannhduser-V enusberg legend which follows starts from so new a conception of the genius of that beautiful myth that for this reason it must be seen in its entirety, if its logic is to be apprehended. I ask of the kind reader, therefore, a full perusal. The fundamentally new ideas herein contained originated with my teacher. Professor Julius Goebel, at whose suggestion the work was undertaken and under whose kindly direction and scholarly criticism it has been carried to its completion. To Dr. C. A. Williams for careful reading of the proof and many helpful suggestions, toP rofessor Arthur Kopp of Marburg for valuable additions to the A ppendix, and toP rofessor Edward Fulton for a critical examination of the text, I also wish here to express my gratitude. P. S. B. Pittsburgh,
