The Bridal of Triermain


Read by Nathan

(2.3 stars; 3 reviews)

Scott's The Bridal of Triermain is a rhymed, romantic, narrative poem which weaves together elements of popular English legend using dramatic themes.
This beautiful poem celebrates the exploits of a knight errant - Sir Roland De Vaux - as he seeks to rescue (and hopefully espouse) a beautiful maiden, Gyneth. Gyneth is the illegitimate daughter of King Arthur: doomed by Merlin 500 years previously to an enchanted sleep inside a magic castle. The enchantment can only be broken by a rescuer both brave and noble enough to overcome the temptations used successively to distract and overcome him, namely: fear, wealth, pleasure and pride.

MOST ENJOYABLE POEM BY SCOTT SO FAR


(4.5 stars)

I truly enjoyed this poem more than his more famous ones. This one is more cohesive. In others he seems to wander. Just my opinion.
