Godfrey of Strasbourg borrowed the plot from Thomas of Britain, reworked it and presented it in a form of amazing skill. The musicality and lightness of the verse was achieved by alternating trochees and iambs and correct filling of the beat; destruction of the monotony of couplets - by introducing quatrains; richness of rhymes (in the entire “Tristan” there are only three imprecise rhymes); frequent use of wordplay, homonymous rhyme, absence of archaic forms; the introduction of French words and even entire poems into German speech; finally, a penchant for metaphors and antitheses, emphasized by repetition - all this characterizes Gottfried of Strasbourg as one of the greatest masters of the courtly style - a style that is refined and refined, imbued with that charm and bright joy, that exaltation of feeling and slight intoxication, which medieval poets called “la joie.”
