Searching for Grettir: William Morris's Pilgrimage to Iceland
Update: 2024-04-30
Description
William Morris, the Victorian poet perhaps known best for his interest in traditional crafts and revolutionary socialism, was also a keen scholar of the medieval north. He was also, in some sense, one of Iceland's first tourists. In the latest episode of Deep North, we talk about the sagas, language, and what drove a 19th-century Englishman to travel by horse and foot over high heaths and steep mountains.
Note: We apologize for the poor audio quality of today's episode.
