The Sundering Flood

Beschreibung

The Sundering Flood is an amazing fictional fantasy book written by William Morris. This book is such a great work that many modern fantasy authors have cited it as being the first to combine a fantastical setting with a supernatural aspect. A lovely story about love, separation, and how things turn out. Morris takes a further step back in time with The Sundering Flood, including thematic and artistic aspects from the Norse sagas. The narrative opens with lovers Osberne and Elfhild, who reside on opposing banks of an immersive river known as the Sundering Flood. The story takes a turn when Osberne, who is heartbroken by Elfhild's disappearance during a Red Skinner invasion, takes up his magical sword Board Cleaver and enrolls himself in the army of Longshaw, where he helps overturn the despotic monarch and merchant plutocracy that dominate the city at the mouth of the river. Will Osberne and Elfhild ever meet again? How will Osberne get successful to get his love back? To get answers to these questions, readers should read this amazing story!

Autor

William Morris was a British socialist organizer, poet, artist, fantasy writer, and textile designer who lived from March 24, 1834, to October 3, 1896. He was a part of the British Arts and Crafts movement. He made a big difference in bringing back traditional British textile skills and ways of making things. His writings helped create the modern fantasy genre, and in Great Britain at the end of the 1800s, he helped get people to accept socialism. Morris came from a rich middle-class family and was born in Walthamstow, Essex. Middle Ages had a big impact on him while he was studying classics at Oxford University and was a part of the Birmingham Set. After college, he married Jane Burden and became friendly with the Pre-Raphaelite artists Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, as well as the Neo-Gothic architect Philip Webb. Morris stayed in Red House in Kent from 1859 to 1865 before moving to Bloomsbury in central London. The house was designed by Webb and Morris. Morris started the decorative arts company Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. with Burne-Jones, Rossetti, Webb, and others in 1861. It quickly became popular and in high demand. During the Victorian era, Morris designed textiles, wallpaper, fabrics, furniture, and stained glass windows, all of which had a big impact on interior design.
