Über das Buch

In 'The House of the Wolfings,' William Morris masterfully weaves together elements of myth, history, and fantasy to create a rich tapestry that transports readers to the early days of the Anglo-Saxon period. The narrative follows the Wolfing clan, a band of Germanic tribes people, as they navigate themes of honor, loyalty, and the struggle against oppression. Morris's use of archaic language and poetic prose enhances the epic quality of the story, positioning it within the broader context of Victorian literature's fascination with medievalism and the heroic. His vivid descriptions evoke the beauty of nature and the deep-rooted traditions of the time, immersing readers in a world defined by both its brutality and its ideals of chivalry and community. William Morris, a prominent figure of the Arts and Crafts Movement, was influenced by his socialist beliefs and his fascination with Norse mythology and medieval culture. His deep admiration for craftsmanship and a return to handcrafted values permeates his writing, reflecting his desire to critique industrial society. 'The House of the Wolfings' illustrates his longing for a mythic past, not merely as an escape, but as a lens through which to critique contemporary societal issues. This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate literary works that blend historical narrative with fantasy, as well as those interested in the ideological undercurrents of the Victorian era. Morris's exploration of community and individual struggle enriches the genre, making this book a significant contribution to both literature and social philosophy.
