Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles by Patricia Terry
Lancelot, the heroic stranger in King Arthur's court, sacrifices all in service of his king, and yet also falls in love with Arthur's queen, the most beautiful woman in Britain. This story of the passionate, adulterous, tragic love of Lancelot and Guinevere is at once a suitable expression of 'courtly love' and its inversion.
It is the achievement of Patricia Terry and Samuel Rosenberg, both seasoned translators of medieval romance, to tease out from the French sources the essential story of Lancelot, Guinevere, Galehaut, and Arthur, and, without distorting the original, retell it for today's readers. Terry has taught French and comparative literature and Rosenberg is Professor Emeritus of French and Italian at Indiana University, Bloomington.
