- Published
- Peter Lewis, ed. William Morris: Aspects of The Man and His Work (Loughborough, Leicestershire: Loughborough University of Technology, 1978), pp. 28-49.
- Description
- Gauges the originality and success of William Morris's poetry, commenting in passing that "The Lovers of Gudrun" is written "in the rather casual couplet form which Morris derived from Chaucer" (37), even though he fails to exploit the "variety" of the form as successfully as Chaucer does (40).
