The House of the Wolfings (Foundations of Modern Fantasy Edition)
Author: William Morris
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329020707
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
FROM THE FATHER OF MODERN FANTASY THAT INSPIRED TOLKIEN AND LEWIS. Warriors, dwarves, gods, epic battles, magic armor, and a ring. If this all sounds a familiar, it's for good reason. In The House of the Wolfings, the first of the author's many great fantastic romances, William Morris weaves the traditional with the supernatural, and establishes a precursor to the modern epic fantasy genre. Based on a translation of an old Norse saga, Morris reconstructs a portrait of the lives of the Germanic Gothic Tribes galvanized into action againts the attacks of imperial Rome. Thiodolf, the leader of the Wolfings, is one of two men chosen as War-Dukes to lead the tribes against their enemies. Thiodolf may be supported by his lover the Wood-Sun and their daughter the Hall-Sun (both of whom are related to the gods), but he also possesses a dwarf-made mail-shirt that, unbeknownst to him, bears a curse.

The Wood Beyond the World
Author: William Morris
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1770482741
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
A groundbreaking fantasy novel, The Wood Beyond the World tells the story of a young man, Golden Walter, who finds himself in a strange and frightening world after being abandoned by his wife and lost at sea. The novel takes the form of Walter’s quest for the visionary Maid that he sees at the beginning of his journey, and takes him from his failed marriage through temptation to emotional fulfillment. Set in Morris’s imaginative recreation of a medieval world, the novel is full of vivid imagery and surprising emotional realism. This edition collates for the first time the three early texts of the work. The introduction discusses the place of the book among Morris’s other prose romances, the events of his life, and his activities as a visual artist and a socialist. The appendices provide excerpts from Morris’s translation of Beowulf, other medieval texts read by Morris, and writings by his contemporaries on politics and aesthetics.

Book Description
Excerpt from Poems of Sixty-Five Years The Spider, when included by his friend Samuel Gray Ward in Channing's first series of poems varied but little from its first form, though shortened slightly. When, four years later, Emer son's first collection of poems came out, the resem blance in form of Channing's Spider to a favorite metre of Emerson led people to say that Channing had imitated Emerson's Bumblebee, though in fact his poem was written and printed before a line of Emerson's verse had attracted notice.
