The deeply resonant love story of Sir Lancelot and King Arthur's wife, Queen Guenevere, has had enduring appeal ever since it was invented in the 12th-century by the French writer Chrétien de Troyes. The protagonists became a model of ill-fated adulterers whose irresistible love led not only themselves but their entire world to perdition. The tale has been told and retold over the years in many languages and forms; the most provocative and elaborate version is in the immense suite of early-13th-century French narratives collectively called the Lancelot-Grail or Arthurian Vulgate Cycle. Related here is the whole wondrous, adventure-filled, mythic history of Arthur and his chivalric kingdom.
The anonymous author of the massive section devoted to Lancelot expanded the triangle Arthur-Guenevere-Lancelot into a rectangle, adding a figure named Galehaut, Lord of the Distant Isles, a powerful political and military foe to Arthur and a rival to Guenevere for the love of Lancelot. It is an extraordinary tale, this overlapping love story, which is recounted with an understanding of human desires and aspirations unprecedented in its depth and richness. For love of Lancelot, Galehaut surrenders his political ambitions, voluntarily submitting to the rule of Arthur; the same love leads him to facilitate the rapprochement of Lancelot and the Queen. The invincible Lord of the Distant Isles, who had seemed destined to conquer the world, becomes a paragon of love-inspired self-sacrifice.
Whether for political reasons or out of aversion to the homoerotic, later retellings of the Lancelot story, in whatever language, show little or no interest in Galehaut. This is especially true of Malory's great English treatment of the Arthurian legend in the 15th century, in which the "high prince" Galehaut appears but only peripherally and with no significant tie to Lancelot.

About the Author
Patricia Terry, having received a doctorate from Columbia University in medieval French literature, taught this subject at Barnard College and the University of California San Diego until her retirement in 1991. Among her verse translations of medieval texts are The Song of Roland, Poems of the Elder Edda, The Honeysuckle and the Hazel Tree, and Renard the Fox. Prose translations, with Nancy Vine Durling, include The Romance of the Rose, or Guillaume de Dole, and The Finding of the Grail. She and Samuel N. Rosenberg are working together on a collection of late medieval folk poems from France and Spain. A book of her own poems, Words of Silence, was published by Higganum Hill Press in 2005.
Samuel N. Rosenberg (A.B. 1957, Columbia College, and Ph.D. 1965, The Johns Hopkins University; Professor emeritus of French and Italian, Indiana University) is a medievalist whose interest in Old French literature is centered on textual edition and translation, primarily of lyric poetry and Arthurian narrative. Alone or in collaboration with other scholars, he has published numerous articles and books in these areas, including such works as Ami and Amile (1981, 1996) The Lyrics and Melodies of Gace Brulé (1985), The Monophonic Songs in the Roman de Fauvel (1991), Lancelot-Grail, The Old French Arthurian Vulgate in Translation (1993-96), Chansons des Trouvères (1995), Songs of the Troubadours and Trouvères (1997), Early French Tristan Poems (1998), Les Chansons de Colin Muset (2005), and The Old French Ballette (2006). He has recently accepted the position of editor for Encomia, the annual bulletin of the International Courtly Literature Society. His work with Patricia Terry on Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles, or The Book of Galehaut Retold is his first venture into the writing of original narrative.

Riviting page turner- Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles
By Nicolas Terry
This vividly retold story is a real page turner. I read it in one sitting, rivited. The setting, the mood, the sense of time, and most of all the main characters are facinating, engaging and inspire one to read on, to find out what will happen next in this exciting epic tale. All the classic issues of our current world are expertly addressed in this 13th century story- devotion, honor, discipline, faith, love, seperation, and death. Especially crafted are the sections illustrating the extraordinary love between Galehaut and Lancelot, and how both are inspired and challenged by it. Homo-eroticism is apparent in their love, but the text is so expertly handled by the translators that the overriding truth of their admiration for one another is not diluted by a notion that their love was singular in focus at all. I recommend this marvelous retelling of Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles to all. We are fortunate to have such exciting parts of this grand tale so wonderfully conveyed.

Beautiful story, beautifully told.
By Kathleen Micklow
I read this book the way I read as a child: completely absorbed, carrying the book from room to room, feeling outside of time and space, afraid to see the last pages coming. This part of the Arthurian story is not so familiar to most of us; I am grateful to the authors (eminent medieval scholars and translators) for having remedied that situation with so much grace and perceptiveness. Their version is lively, engaging, heartfelt and deeply moving, without ever being sentimental. I would think a very broad public would love this book.

A rare work of art
By Marcia
This is excellent. Those who love the Arthurian mythos would do well to get a copy of this book. The understanding of the characters makes much less sense without it! Gaelhaut, the Giantess' Son, is neglected in the more famous translations, and it is high time someone came up and gave the original stories the attention they deserved. The spirit of the stories are kept well, and the sentences are often so simple they are haunting in their ability to stay with you. Lancelot is the perfect hero--his flaws are in his very perfection, and his friendship with Galehaut was a perfect counterbalance to the politics and dangerous times of the era. I would like to illuminate some of the examples that really made it stand out, but that would give things away for the reader. One of the lessons Lancelot learns from the Lady is that our most important mission is to Love. This is a very Celtic attitude, for without Love there is little reason to do anything. The love in the books takes on many forms: the group of people who hide Guenivere and Lancelot's love for each other, Arthur's warped love from witchcraft and his own insecurities, Gawain's love for his Uncle, and Gaelhaut and Lancelot's love for each other, so unalike in appearance and yet giving every appearance of two bodies wit one soul between them. The homeoerotic elements of the original text are rescued, and emphasize the growing tragedy as Lancelot's life slowly puts an end to his closest friend. This book is a keeper.
