The House of the Wolfings by William Morris
"The House of the Wolfings" by William Morris is a fantasy novel published in 1889. Written in a blend of prose and verse, it portrays Germanic Gothic tribes defending their homeland against the armies of imperial Rome. The story follows Thiodolf, a war leader whose fate becomes entwined with a cursed dwarf-made mail-shirt and the divine women who support him. Considered a pioneering work that united historical settings with supernatural elements, it
directly influenced J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and helped establish modern fantasy literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
