{"product_id":"the-house-of-the-wolfings-william-morris-9781587156427","title":"The House of the Wolfings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first of William Morris's great fantastic romances is a translation of the old Norse saga, \u003cem\u003eThe House of the Wolfings\u003c\/em\u003e. Of this tale, \u003cem\u003eThe Encyclodedia of Fantasy \u003c\/em\u003ewrote: \"The first step toward the characteristic large-scale fantasies which have had such influence on the genre . . . is \u003cem\u003eThe House of the Wolfings\u003c\/em\u003e. Here the setting is quasi-historical: a European Saxon community is resisting the decadent advances of late Imperial Rome. The romantic-supernatural story contains a large admixture of verse.\" Indeed, Morris's chief contribution to the book is his beautiful prose and poetry, for his version of the story is actually a collaboration with Norse scholar Eirikr Magnusson, who provided a literal translation of the original text, which Morris then reset as prose and poetry. Morris's version of \u003cem\u003eThe House of the Wolfings \u003c\/em\u003ehas influenced generations of writers, including J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and countless hundreds more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587156423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587156427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Borgo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.10w x 0.62d","brand":"William Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068666999039,"sku":"9781587156427","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aaf71370-467e-42aa-8e8d-00d0fdcde562.jpg?v=1685420324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-house-of-the-wolfings-william-morris-9781587156427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
