| A groundbreaking fantasy novel, The Wood Beyond the World tells the story of a young man, Golden Walter, who finds himself in a strange and frightening world after being abandoned by his wife and lost at sea. The novel takes the form of Walterâ s quest for the visionary Maid that he sees at the beginning of his journey, and takes him from his failed marriage through temptation to emotional fulfillment. Set in Morrisâ s imaginative recreation of a medieval world, the novel is full of vivid imagery and surprising emotional realism. This edition collates for the first time the three early texts of the work. The introduction discusses the place of the book among Morrisâ s other prose romances, the events of his life, and his activities as a visual artist and a socialist. The appendices provide excerpts from Morrisâ s translation of Beowulf, other medieval texts read by Morris, and writings by his contemporaries on politics and aesthetics. |
