Questions of Travel: William Morris in Iceland by Lavinia Greenlaw

William Morris travelled to Iceland in search of an answer to the problem of how to live.  His journals, written for a friend, unconsciously explore questions of travel; leaving, arriving, hurry or delay.  What it means to dread a place you've never been to or to encounter the actuality of a long held vision

Lavinia Greenlaw draws out these questions as she follows in the footsteps of Morris's prose.  The result is a new and composite work, which brilliantly explores our conflicted reasons for not staying at home
