The Bridal of Triermain

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Bridal of Triermain, by Sir Walter Scott Read by Nathan Scott's The Bridal of Triermain is a rhymed, romantic, narrative poem which weaves together elements of popular English legend using various 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 prospective suitors, namely: fear, wealth, pleasure and pride. (Introduction by Godsend) An alternate version of this recording, including sound effects is also available: The Bridal of Triermain For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
