Das steigende Interesse der Forschung am Nibelungenlied und an Problemen der Heldendichtung lenkt auch vermehrte Aufmerksamkeit auf die Kudrun. Das Gedicht, unter starkem Einfluss des Nibelungenliedes entstanden und in einer aus der Nibelungenstrophe entwickelten Strophenform abgefasst, bietet zugleich ein Gegenbild zu dem alteren Heldenepos. Nicht der Untergang der heroischen Welt ist Ziel der Handlung, sondern ihre Abloesung durch den neuen, milderen Geist hoefischer Gesittung. In seinem Hauptteil preist das Gedicht die UEberlegenheit weiblicher Leidensfahigkeit und Standhaftigkeit uber das blutige Heldenwesen des versinkenden Zeitalters.
