William Morris in Iceland: Questions of Travel (Nhe Classic Collection) [Idioma Inglés] - Hardcover

"Morris's journals...are precious and unique because they are so simply and beautifully written with the informed sense of wonder of a deeply learned and sophisticated man. No one except Ruskin has ever put the case for beauty with such vehemence and clarity." --Ian McQueen, The Guardian "At a time of endless half-truths and moral shilly-shallying, Morris's eccentric integrity shines out." --Fiona MacCarthy "Greenlaw has brilliantly found a new form for writing about Morris, and for this we can only be grateful." --Tony Pinkney, William Morris Unbound Blog "The best book of travel written by an English poet is William Morris's Icelandic Journal." --Geoffrey Grigson

Lavinia Greenlaw's selection from Morris's Icelandic Journal ('the best book of travel written by an English poet', and the least known) is interposed with her own 'questions of travel', which follow the footprints of Morris's prose, responding to its surfaces and undercurrents, extending its horizons. The result is a new and composite work, which brilliantly explores our conflicted reasons for not staying at home.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
