By William Morris

Book Overview

The Lovers of Gudrun is a narrative poem written by William Morris in 1870. The poem is based on the Icelandic sagas and tells the story of Gudrun, a woman who is courted by two men, Atli and Gunnar. The poem explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal as Gudrun must choose between the two men. The characters are vividly portrayed and the language is rich and lyrical. Morris was a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, and his poetry reflects his interest in medieval literature and design. The Lovers of Gudrun is considered one of Morris's most accomplished works and is a testament to his skill as a poet and storyteller.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
