THE TIMELESS FANTASY AUTHOR AND THE TIMELESS CLASSIC
When J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis spoke about their fantasy
roots, the name "William Morris" always arose as their fantasy
forefather.
William Morris, of course, is the author of the classic "Well at
World's End, " the epic fantasy is the foundation of modern High
Fantasy.
William Morris was famous for more than fantasy: A true
Victorian ball of creative energy, he was a master of design and
other kinds of literature -- including poetry. The man was a true
polymath, creating floral textiles and wallpapers, painting,
creating metalwork, stained glass, jewelry, sculpture, and
furniture; at one point he even metamorphosed to become a political
firebrand, and published a Socialist political paper.
But these days we remember him most clearly as an author.
And this wonderful book is William Morris and A.J. Wyatt's
translation of the greatest fantasy of all time, "Beowulf."
Here are the greatest monsters of all time -- Grendel and
Grendel's mother. Here are the bracing words of the greatest
saga.
And here is the hero of heroes, the Anglo-Saxon warrior who
saved his people from the forces of cold and darkness --
Beowulf
