The House of the Wolfings

The Historic Proto-Fantasy novel by

WILLIAM MORRIS

Equal parts romantic, mysterious, and blood-soaked, the House of the Wolfings is a unique, Old Norse-inspired tale of the ferocious resistance of a group of pagan Gothic peoples against the imperial designs of the invading Roman Empire.

Following the luminous valkyrie Wood-Sun, the war chief Thiodolf (‘the wolf of the people’), and their daughter the Hall-Sun, the Wolfings and their surrounding community band together to fight a powerful, common foe. English utopian socialist polymath William Morris’s The House of the Wolfings is widely recognized as major influence on contemporary fantasy, especially on the novels of J. R. R. Tolkien.
