A creative titan of the Victorian age, William Morris (1834-96)
produced a prodigious variety of literary and artistic work in his
lifetime. In addition to his achievements as a versatile designer
at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement, Morris
distinguished himself as a poet, translated Icelandic sagas and
classical epics, wrote a series of influential prose romances, and
gave lectures promoting his socialist principles. His collected
works, originally published in 24 volumes between 1910 and 1915,
were edited by his daughter Mary (May) Morris (1862-1938), whose
introductions to each volume chart with insight and sympathy the
development of her father's literary, aesthetic and political
passions. Volume 10 contains the translations from Icelandic of
Three Northern Love Stories, and Other Tales (1875) in addition to
Morris' translation from Old English of The Tale of Beowulf (1895).
