Ultimately one of the most influential novels of all time and yet today oddly obscure, English translator, artist, architect, and Marxist William Morris’s The Roots of the Mountains built the foundation of contemporary fantasy fiction. Notably, Morris’s epic profoundly influenced well-known works like J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Set in an idyllic valley surrounded by mountains, Morris’s fictional narrative focuses on a group of pagan Goths and the experiences of their golden son, Face-of-God. This experimental, innovative Victorian work draws from history and folklore to produce a tale of lust and love and brutality and bloodshed. This edition features a new introduction from Ruth Tolkien, great-granddaughter of J. R. R. Tolkien, and numerous new supplementary items from editors Joseph S. Hopkins and Lauren E. Fountain alongside art from the historic record by Jacqui Alberts and a new map by Leodrune.
