Set in a medieval era of swords, battles, and dragons, King Mark of
Cornwall takes in a young boy, with whom he felt a strong
connection to even before he learned of their blood relation. When
the young boy, Tristan, grows into a brave and honorable man, he is
sent to settle a conflict the kingdom had with an Irish settlement.
When Tristan goes to fight the Irish champion, he defeats him but
is badly wounded. While he is struggling to regain his health, he
meets Iseult, an Irish princess, who had been promised to his uncle
as a wife. Once Tristan's health returns, he escorts Iseult to the
kingdom of Cornwall. However, when one of Iseult's maids casts a
binding love spell on Tristan and Iseult, they quickly fall into a
forbidden love. Caught in a tortured love triangle, Tristan and
Iseult try to suppress their love for each other out of respect for
King Mark, however, their passion is persistent. Torn between
reputation and romance, Tristan and Iseult must fight against their
passions to remain chivalrous and honorable. With dramatic and
beautiful writing, The Romance of Tristan and Iseult is an exciting
romance novel filled with tragedy, magic, quests, and adventure.
Using medieval sources, including the poem that the myth of Tristan
and Iseult originated from, Joseph Bedier's The Romance of Tristan
and Iseult is a retelling of a classic star-crossed romance that
inspired later iconic love stories such as Shakespeare's Romeo and
Juliet. This influence has even spread to the 21st century,
inspiring film adaptations and countless depictions of doomed
lovers. Claimed to be one of the most authentic versions of the
myth, The Romance of Tristan and Iseult provides detailed insight
into medieval culture and folklore. This edition of The Romance of
Tristan and Iseult by Joseph Bedier features a striking new cover
design and is printed in a modern font, creating an accessible
reading experience for contemporary readers.
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.
The first complete English translation by a single translator of

the Blond; Brissons 1901 review of Bediers Romance; and Bediers
