Note: A play in verse. Howey and Reimer in A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana, 1500-2000 say, with regard to Tristan & Isoult by Martha Kinross, "A significant number of lines in this play match those of Tristram and Isoult by Martha W[addill] Austin; it is possible that this play is a revision of the first, published under a different name."
Synopsis: "The drama's three parts take place in three different locations (Camelot, Tintagel and Brittany) after three important events (a tournament that Tristram wins, a battle where he defends Cornwall, and Mark's stabbing him). Austin says that she bases the work on Malory, but Tennyson also seems to be an influence, particularly in some descriptions of Arthur. In this version, Isoult of Brittany does try to get Isoult of Ireland to Tristram's side when he is dying; he dies in Isoult of Ireland's arms and she takes poison just before Mark arrives." —Ann F. Howey and Stephen R. Reimer, A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana, 1500–2000
