Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. '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 Tu rheim'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 "An English translation of Gottfried von Strassburg's Middle High German courtly romance Tristan, itself an adaptation of the 12th-century Tristan and Iseult legend"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

A very significant contribution to medieval literary studies in general and an essential addendum to Nibelungenlied studies in particular. . . . Deserves-and is likely destined-to become the standard translation into English of both the Nibelungenlied and the Klage for decades to come."-Winder McConnell, Emeritus, University of California, Davis Filled with portrayals of deception, love, murder, and revenge-yet defying traditional medieval epic conventions for representing character-the Nibelungenlied is the greatest and most unique epic in Middle High German.
