Book excerpt: William Morris's "The Story of Sigurd the Volsung" is an epic story that makes use of Norse myths and the Volsunga Saga to inform a story of bravery, tragedy, and supernatural forces. Morris, an English writer with many competencies, wrote a poetic and bright tale about the famous Norse hero Sigurd that got here out in 1876. The story is set Sigurd, the courageous dragon-slayer, and it has parts approximately love, betrayal, and fate. The principal plot of this story is Sigurd's look for fame and the cursed ring of energy, as well as his doomed love affair with Brynhild. Morris brings returned the grandeur and seriousness of old sagas via his precise fashion of storytelling, which is marked via archaic language and poetic richness. Morris's works are critical due to the fact they had an impact at the Arts and Crafts motion, in addition to having thrilling memories. Along with writing, the author, who changed into an outstanding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, delivered his own drawings to the paintings, ensuing in a clean blend of writing and art. "The Story of Sigurd the Volsung" remains one of the maximum well-known works of Victorian literature. It suggests how determined Morris turned into to carry returned medieval literary conventions and provides to human beings's hobby in Norse mythology.

Book excerpt: The Story of Sigurd the Volsung By William Morris The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs (1876) is an epic poem of over 10,000 lines by William Morris that tells the tragic story, drawn from the Volsunga Saga and the Elder Edda, of the Norse hero Sigmund, his son Sigurd (the equivalent of Siegfried in the Nibelungenlied and Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung) and Sigurd's wife Gudrun. It sprang from a fascination with the Volsung legend that extended back twenty years to the author's youth, and had already resulted in several other literary and scholarly treatments of the story. It was Morris's own favourite of his poems, and was enthusiastically praised both by contemporary critics and by such figures as T. E. Lawrence and George Bernard Shaw. In recent years it has been rated very highly by many William Morris scholars, but has never succeeded in finding a wide readership on account of its great length and archaic diction. It has been seen as an influence on such fantasy writers as Andrew Lang and J. R. R. Tolkien. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
