Searching for Grettir: William Morris's Pilgrimage to Iceland
Manage episode 415412698 series 3424270
William Morris, the Victorian poet perhaps known best for his interest in traditional crafts and revolutionary socialism, was also a keen scholar of the medieval north. He was also, in some sense, one of Iceland's first tourists. In the latest episode of Deep North, we talk about the sagas, language, and what drove a 19th-century Englishman to travel by horse and foot over high heaths and steep mountains.
