Summary |
"Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality. Vol. 14 (of 15), King Arthur (2)" by Charles Morris is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into the legendary tales of King Arthur and his knights, focusing particularly on the tales involving Tristram and Isolde, their tragic romance, and the intricacies of the court of Camelot. The narrative is rich with themes of love, honor, betrayal, and chivalry set against the backdrop of Arthurian legend. The opening of the volume introduces readers to the treachery of King Mark, who seeks revenge against his nephew, Sir Tristram. Tristram's valor is noted at Camelot, stirring jealousy in King Mark, who disguises himself to plot against him. Through a humorous encounter with Dinadan, the king finds himself ridiculed and exposed at Camelot. The excitement ramps up as the narrative intertwines various characters, including Lancelot, and foreshadows the coming tension within Arthur's court. As the story progresses, it hints at the themes of unrequited love, noble quests, and the tragic fate of both heroes and villains inherent in the tale of King Arthur.
