The Sundering Flood is an amazing fictional fantasy book written by William Morris. This book is such a great work that many modern fantasy authors have cited it as being the first to combine a fantastical setting with a supernatural aspect. A lovely story about love, separation, and how things turn out. Morris takes a further step back in time with The Sundering Flood, including thematic and artistic aspects from the Norse sagas. The narrative opens with lovers Osberne and Elfhild, who reside on opposing banks of an immersive river known as the Sundering Flood. The story takes a turn when Osberne, who is heartbroken by Elfhild's disappearance during a Red Skinner invasion, takes up his magical sword Board Cleaver and enrolls himself in the army of Longshaw, where he helps overturn the despotic monarch and merchant plutocracy that dominate the city at the mouth of the river. Will Osberne and Elfhild ever meet again? How will Osberne get successful to get his love back? To get answers to these questions, readers should read this amazing story!
William Morris was born in 1834 in Walthamstow, England. He was one of the great all-rounders, such as a poet, painter, author, translator, political scholar, social reformer, designer, and publisher. The organisations and movements he established ranged from the Arts and Crafts Movement to the Socialist Federation to the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. He started his writing career at Oxford University, where he contributed to and funded the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine. After the Socialist League moved too far from Morris's brand of freedom socialism for him to stay a part of it, he dedicated himself to writing. Initially, these were stories of ancient Germanic legends, and then "Here Be Dragons" became a series of completely fantasy novels, beginning with The Wood Beyond the World and also The Well at the World's End.
