Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This medieval version of the legendary romance between Tristan and Isolde portrays Tristan as a sophisticated pre-Renaissance man.
"I believe this fluent, accurate, readable translation of Tristan
and Isolde will become the standard English edition of Gottfried's
literary masterpiece. Wisely choosing not to recreate the end rhyme
of the original, Whobrey has created a text that stays true to the
original Middle High German while rendering it into modern English
prose. The inclusion of Ulrich von Turheim's Continuation is a
great strength of this book. For the first time, English speakers
will be able to read Gottfried's work in tandem with Ulrich's and
explore -- via Whobrey's discussion of Ulrich's sources -- the rich
Tristan literary tradition in the Middle Ages and the ways in which
Gottfried's achievement resonated well after his death. The
footnotes provide helpful cultural, historical, and interpretive
information, and Whobrey's Introduction offers a nice overview of
Gottfried's biography, a discussion of Gottfried's important
literary excursus, his place within the literature and genres of
his time, and the source material for his Tristan. Particularly
useful is Whobrey's discussion of the intricate and masterful
structure of Gottfried's text." -- Scott Pincikowski, Hood College
