Poet and novelist Lavinia Greenlaw''s poetic reflections on William Morris''s Icelandic Journal, one of the overlooked masterpieces of travel literature
The great Victorian designer and decorative artist William Morris was fascinated by Iceland and wrote a book documenting his travels there. He gets caught up with questions of travel, noting his reaction to the idea of leaving or arriving, to hurry and delay, what it means to dread a place youve never been to or to encounter the actuality of a long-held vision. He is sensitive to the emotional landscape of his band of travelers and, above all, continuously analyzing and fixing this most romantic of all deserts.
Lavinia Greenlaw follows in his footsteps, and interposes his prose with her own questions of travel. The result is a new and composite work that brilliantly explores our conflicted reasons for not staying at home.
