Note 1 — Chapter IV · The Grateful Dead and The Poison Maiden.
Reading edition
As has already been shown,1 Simrock regarded as an essential feature of The Grateful Dead the release of a maiden from captivity by the hero. Stephens and Hippe2 saw that such was not the case. The latter’s treatment of the matter3 leaves little to be desired as far as it goes, save that it implies a derivation of the compound The Grateful Dead + The Ransomed Woman from the compound treated in the last chapter—a view which I believe erroneous.
