‘The House of the Wolfings’ is an epic work of fantasy and historical fiction written by William Morris in the late 19th century. Set in a mythical Germanic past, the novel tells the story of the Wolfings, a tribal community living in a remote forest. They are fiercely independent and have a strong connection to nature and their ancestral traditions.
The narrative follows the Wolfings as they face the threat of invasion by the invading Roman Empire. Led by their heroic chieftain, Thiodolf, the Wolfings must defend their homeland and way of life against a formidable enemy. The novel is not just a tale of warfare but also explores themes of courage, honor, loyalty, and the enduring spirit of a people bound by their shared heritage.
William Morris’s prose is rich and poetic, immersing readers in a world of ancient forests, battles, and a deep sense of myth and legend. ‘The House of the Wolfings’ is a compelling and imaginative work that transports readers to a time when tribes fought for their freedom and identity in the face of external threats.
