Wälsungenblut The Blood of the Wälsungs was written in 1915 but withheld from publication owing to the similarities between the characters in the story and Mann's new in-laws. In 1905 Mann married Katja Pringsheim and it is believed based his story in part on Katja and her twin brother Klaus Pringsheim reinvented as Siegmund and Sieglinde Wagner's incestuous twins from Die Wälkure 1870 with echoes of the Volsunga Saga. The story was set for publication in the January 1906 issue of Die Neue Rundschau but after discovering the incestuous nature of the story Alfred Pringsheim Mann's father-in-law demanded that publication be withheld. Suppressed for fifteen years Wälsungenblut was finally published in 1921. It remains one of Mann's most controversial stories owing to its depiction of anti-Semitism and incest. The novella was adapted for the award-winning German film Wälsungenblut directed by Rolf Thiele in 1964.

His perceptiveness as an interpreter of Western cultural heritage and his skill as a cosmopolitan teacher of democratic and humanistic values earned him recognition as a 'mirror of his age' and a 'citizen of the world'… Among Mann's many well-written works of short fiction "Death in Venice" 1928 a novella based on Mann's impressions during his stay in Venice is the most famous… Typically for Mann the novella deals with the problem of the unhappy sick artist Gustav von Aschenbach who envies the healthy and 'normal' people of the bourgeois society" Pribic 262-3.

Deborah Sampson 1760-1827 and her adventures masquerading as a male soldier during the American Revolution under the name Robert Shurtleff.

Howes states that while Mann's work is "not too credible. That she actually served.is however a matter of indisputable record." Mann's book was published over a decade after the Revolutionary War amidst Sampson's protracted battle for an ongoing pension for military service. Struggling financially in 1792 Sampson by then married and known as Deborah Gannett successfully petitioned the Massachusetts legislature for back pay; she continued to petition the federal Congress until an intercession by her neighbor Paul Revere in 1805 led to a regular pension of $4 a month; she continued to seek further backdated compensation until 1816.
