The Defence of Guenevere, and Other Poems (1858)
The Defence of Guenevere, and Other Poems (1858) | William Morris
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
This early work by William Morris was originally published in 1899 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. William Morris was born in London, England in 1834. Arguably best known as a textile designer, he founded a design partnership which deeply influenced the decoration of churches and homes during the early 20th century. However, he is also considered an important Romantic writer and pioneer of the modern fantasy genre, being a direct influence on authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien. As well as fiction, Morris penned poetry and essays. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

I think if I was ever talented enough to write poetry, I‘d have to find a way to illuminate it like this collection. What I would do to own something this gorgeous... even more eye catching in person 😍

Wishing you a whimsical weekend ✨
