The Three Days’ Tournament: A Study in Romance and Folk Lore is a book written by Jessie Laidlay Weston and published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive study of medieval romance and folk tales, specifically focusing on the motif of the three-day tournament. The author explores the origins of this motif, tracing it back to ancient mythology and folklore, and examines its evolution in medieval literature. The book includes a detailed analysis of various medieval romances and folk tales, such as the Arthurian legend, Tristan and Isolde, and the story of Gawain and the Green Knight. Through her analysis, Weston provides insight into the cultural and social values of medieval society, as well as the role of storytelling in shaping these values. The Three Days’ Tournament is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval literature and folklore, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of the Middle Ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
