About the Item
The Romance of Tristan and Iseult
Retold by Joseph Bédier
Heritage Press, 1960
Illustrated
Translated from French by Hilaire Belloc and Paul Rosenfeld, with an Introduction by Padraic Colum and Illustrations by Serge Ivanoff.
A tale of chivalry and doomed, transcendent love, The Romance of Tristan and Iseult stands as one of the most resonant works of Western literature and the basis for our enduring idea of romance. The story of the Cornish knight and the Irish princess, who meet by deception, fall in love through magic, and pursue that love against heavenly and earthly law, has inspired artists from Matthew Arnold to Richard Wagner. Nowhere has it been retold with greater eloquence and dignity than in Joseph Bédier’s edition, which weaves several medieval sources into a seamless whole, elegantly translated by Hilaire Belloc and Paul Rosenfeld.
Crafted in the Heritage tradition with fine heavy gauge paper, beautiful illustrations, and superior bindings, this edition is a true collector's item.
