Book Review of The Romance of Tristan and Iseult

The Romance of Tristan and Iseult
LisaBraithwaite avatar reviewed on


"One of the most famous stories in the world, set forth in a reconstruction which is itself a masterpiece of French literature. It is of such beauty, such force, such emotional appeal that the work was crowned at once by the French Academy. . ." New York Herald Tribune

"The first complete English edition, brilliantly translated by Hilaire Belloc and Paul Rosenfeld. . . throughout it retains the beauty and sense of fatality that have made it one of legendary literature's most fascinating tales." Time magazine
