The four months William Morris spent in Iceland in 1871 and 1873 were transformational for him. Martin Stott considers the prose and poetry he wrote during and immediately after these journeys, particularly his Journals, focusing on the impact of these trips on his political development. He also considers the impact Morris had, and continues to have, on Iceland and its people.
