![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Izzy + Tristan by Shannon Dunlap (March 12, 2019) I wonder if this signifies an uptick in interest in the story. There are four YA retellings of the traditional Tristan and Iseult story, two of which have been published within the past year. Tristan intends to bring Iseult to his uncle, the King of Cornwall, to marry, but the two fall in love instead (in most versions with the help of a love potion). In most versions, Tristan is a Cornish knight and Iseult is an Irish princess. The story of Tristan and Iseult is a 12-century romance that likely inspired the Guinevere/Lancelot story that modern readers may be more familiar with. Romeo and Juliet retellings are legion in YA, but sometimes authors pick a different pair of classic doomed lovers to reinvent: Tristan and Iseult.
