The Earthly Paradise SeptemberNovember Author:William Morris Book Description: — "This is the second part of a three part text of William Morris' epic-length poem, The Earthly Paradise. In this portion, Morris expands his scope from classical mythology into the Near East with The Man who never laughed again, and the Northern realm with the extended The Lovers of Gudrun, a retelling of an episode fro... more »m the Icelandic Laxdaela Saga, and East of the Moon, West of the Sun.
