Prose and Poetry (1856–1870) by William Morris is a collection of the early literary works of one of Victorian England's most influential writers and artists. Published as part of the Commonwealth of Australia series of literary reprints, it brings together Morris's poems, essays, and prose from the formative years of his career, showcasing the development of his distinctive medieval-inspired style. The volume includes selections from works such as The Defence of Guenevere and other poems, alongside prose that reflects his fascination with chivalry, mythology, craftsmanship, and social ideals.
