Hardy's epic drama in three parts, nineteen acts and more than 130 scenes follows the Napoleonic Wars from 1805 through Waterloo in 1815. It interweaves historical leaders and battles with ordinary lives and a metaphysical chorus that observes events.
At Tintagel, Queen Iseult and King Mark return from separate sea voyages. Tristram, disguised as a harper, meets her; Mark kills him, Iseult kills Mark with the same dagger and then dies by suicide, while Iseult the Whitehanded leaves. Merlin frames the action in prologue and epilogue.
