"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 TuÌ rheimâ 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 exploreâ via Whobreyâ s discussion of Ulrichâ s sourcesâ the rich Tristan literary tradition in the Middle Ages and the ways in which Gottfriedâ 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 Gottfriedâ 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 Whobreyâ s discussion of the intricate and masterful structure of Gottfriedâ s text."

"William T. Whobrey conducts Gottfried von Strassburg's great medieval epic into the twenty-first century. The reader will come for the elegant translation and stay for the scholarship." -- Alexander Sager, University of Georgia
