Book Reviews of The Romance of Tristan and Iseult (Dover Books on Literature & Drama)
Book Review: Great Read.
Summary: 4 Stars
I find The Romance of Tristan and Iseult a good read for anyone interested in Medieval literature, or romance; or both for that matter. It's well ahead of its time in that it is a story of two lovers forced apart by circumstance and whose love affects others around them as well as themselves, centuries before Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet. There is only one downside I can see, though. It is the lack of description of battles in the story; the author doesn't tell much about the fights or what happens in them, only that they occured. But all in all an endearing story.
