1871 The Earthly Paradise: A Poem Part IV
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
The Earthly Paradise by William Morris, part IV containing the December, January, and February parts. The epic poem is complete in twelve parts, each representing a month and containing two tales in verse. First US edition, one of one thousand copies printed.
A sweeping retelling of a variety of Greek and Scandinavian myths and legends, including the Icelandic saga, initially published between 1868 and 1870. They used a frame story concerning some medieval wanderers in search of immortality. Largely successful, this anthology affirmed Morris as a foremost poet of his day.
