"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 Türheim’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."

Tristan and Isolde: with Ulrich von Türheim's Continuation

Die Ausgabe bietet in Band 1 den mittelhochdeutschen Originaltext von Gottfrieds Tristan-Fragment sowie in Band 2 eine moderne Übersetzung und eine umfassende Einführung in das Werk. Der berühmte Liebesroman wurde um 1200/1220 verfasst. Der Tristan-Stoff ist gemeineuropäisch; Gottfrieds direkte Quelle ist vermutlich die Fassung des Thomas von Britanje. Der Roman erzählt, wie Tristan Isolde kennen lernt und wie die Ehebruchsbeziehung der beiden Liebenden verläuft. Denn Isolde ist mit Marke verheiratet, aber durch den verhängnisvollen Zaubertrank an Tristan gebunden. Das Dreiecksverhältnis bleibt nicht unverborgen, doch immer wieder kann Marke von der Keuschheit des Paares überzeugt werden, u. a. in der berühmten Minnegrotten-Szene, in der Marke die beiden unschuldig schlafend findet. Schließlich muss Tristan aber doch aus Cornwall fliehen. Der Roman bricht ab mit der Erzählung von Isolde Weißhand, in die Tristan sich in der Fremde verliebt. - Der Roman ist höchst kunstvoll komponiert und gebaut und gehört neben Wolframs "Parzival" zu den Gipfelleistungen der deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters. Der Marold'sche Text ist die bis heute gültige Standardedition.
