I’m looking for traditional writings on love and romance. I really enjoyed Plato’s Symposium and really identified with it. I also love Tullia D Argonna’s Dialogue on love and the Tale of Genji and wondered if there’s anything else out there. Are there any Japanese books out too? I know about Ihara Saikaku but I can’t find a copy of his books anywhere at a reasonable price. Romantic literature is welcome, fiction or philosophy. I don’t like modern romantic fiction. It’s all garbage.

What exactly would you consider traditional? Closest example I could think of is Leo Tolstoy's short novella family Hapiness, but that might not fit the the time range you're looking for.

Uh pre modern I guess? Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out.
