Tristan
The story of Tristan is well known in the Western tradition of Romance. Few have not heard of Wagner's opera and the love elixir which Tristan and Iseut drink by accident. The story is already well established in the early medieval period, where there are several competing manuscripts, most of them incomplete for various reasons. John Watson has revisited these medieval origins and achieved a synthesis, a complete Tristan. Here are the sea voyages, the ill-fated love potion, the black or white sail hoisted as a signal. And here, re-imagining the whole, Watson has made a fitting companion piece to his earlier The Tale of Gawain (GinninderraPress).

Theatricals
The idea of retelling theatre stories began with a second-hand copy of Donald Sinden’s Theatrical Anecdotes. Other anthologies, biographies and histories followed. Widening circles of biblio-graphies soon spread out into earlier anthologies and accounts, from practitioners within the theatre – Oxberry, Bunn, Wilkinson, Macready – as well as from the memoirs of ardent theatregoers – Pepys, Hunt, Moore, Haydon… But the remarkable degree to which certain stories are repeated again and again makes specific acknowledgment of sources impossible. For example, Macklin’s final octogenarian appearance as Shylock, Barrymore’s hurling of a fish from the stage, Charles Kemble’s treatment of a crying child in the audience, Garrick’s parsimony, Ralph Richardson’s parrot, Barry’s and Garrick’s competing Romeos – these are typical of hundreds of set pieces which recur almost obsessively. And the same blunder or witticism may well be attributed to a surprisingly large cast.

Plagiarisms
The rewriting of prose texts in iambics is perhaps primarily a way of reading them with deliberation; the texts here - favourites of course - have much in common. Those from Lampedusa posit the possibility of extraordinary events. Similarly, 'Sylvie' depends on extremities of tenderness exemplified by the scene in the Othys section when the narrator and Sylvie, descending the stairs, stage a re-enactment. And in the scene from Dali's novel Hidden Faces there is something in common with the luminous return to life near the end of The Count of Monte Cristo (which itself has echoes of the rapt statue scene in The Winter's Tale). To render these theatrical interludes in verse is of course an indulgence but also, it is hoped, a tribute and an invitation.
