The Earthly Paradise
29 chapters English Public domain
About this book
This is the second part of a three part etext of William Morris' epic-length poem, The Earthly Paradise. In this portion, Morris expands his scope from classical mythology into the Near East with The Man who never laughed again, and the Northern realm with the extended The Lovers of Gudrun, a retelling of an episode from the Icelandic Laxdaela Saga, and East of the Moon, West of the Sun.
Confusingly, this is actually part III of the original edition (the first volume was considered part I and II).
