The Love of Trystan & Essylt

This classic tale, arguably the first romance in western European literary heritage, is retold here for modern readers, retaining many of the traditional elements from the medieval sources, and earlier poetic material. C. A. Meyer has pieced together the surviving fragments and brought it all to new life with an interpretation that dares to assert that this tale, with its theme of love, belongs in that group of story traditions of a timeless and universal nature.
