Bücher der Reihe Arthurian Characters and Themes

First Published in 2000. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

A substantial introduction traces the Tristan and Isolde legend from the 12th century to 2001, emphasizing literary versions, but also surveying the legend's sources and its appearance in the visual arts, music and film. The nineteen essays are in English, revised, and "classic".
