Re: The William Morris Thread

The more I read of this book, the more the prose style has grown on me. As is usually the case with affected styles, one needs to get into the rhythm of it before one can begin to enjoy it. Now I am finding it quite a pleasure to read.

It is quite peculiar in other ways though, no speech marks to denote the dialogue, nor paragraph breaks separating who is speaking make it a little difficult to follow. The frequent summary captions that break up the narrative, sometimes even mid-paragraph are quite odd too.
