description: University of Reading scholars Hardman (English), Francoise Le Saux (Medieval languages and literature), and Peter Noble (Medieval and Quebec literature), along with Neil Thomas (German, U. of Durham) introduce the treatment of the famous love story in various languages of northern Europe. They generally focus on Medieval versions, but Thomas traces the lineage in German from Gottfried through Wagner to Thomas Mann. A conclusion points out that the story is more complex than many modern scholars recognize, that the complexity is present in the earliest extant versions, and that poets and writers have sought to balance the adventure of Tristan's military exploits with the passion of the love between him and Iseut. The text is double spaced. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
