«Tristan et Yseut» is the medieval narrative poem by Béroul, published by Folio in paperback (208 pages, in French).
The tale recounts the medieval legend of Tristan and Iseult, two lovers separated by circumstance and united by a passion that defies fate and death. Béroul's work, one of the oldest testimonies of French narrative, establishes the archetype of absolute love in European literature.
Published in 2000 in the Folio Classique collection; edition by Daniel Poirion, preface by Christiane Marchello-Nizia, and complete text in French.
Intended for students of French and medieval literature and for readers wishing to approach the origin of the legend of Tristan and Iseult.
Béroul was a Norman or Breton poet of the mid-to-late 12th century. He is usually credited with the authorship of Tristran, a Norman language version of the legend of Tristan and Iseult, of which just under 4500 verses survive in a manuscript of the 13th century. His name is known only from two references in the text of the poem.
