Lewis Morris (1833-1907) was a Welsh academic, politician, and poet, noted for his contributions to Victorian-era literature. Born in Carmarthenshire, Morris was educated at Sherborne School and Jesus College, Oxford, where he distinguished himself in classics. His literary career commenced with works such as 'Songs of Two Worlds' (1871-1875), which established him as a gifted lyric poet. His verse often explored themes of love, nature, and existential reflection, marked by a harmonious blend of classical allusion and romantic sentiment. 'Gycia,' a tragic verse drama, is exemplary of Morris's poetic drama, where he delves into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the human condition through the story of a Byzantine heroine. Despite the sometimes perceived didacticism of his verse, Morris enjoyed considerable popularity in his time. His work, which includes volumes like 'The Epic of Hades' (1876), reveals Morris's preoccupation with mythological and classical subjects, resonating with the 19th-century literary tradition of exploring contemporary issues through ancient lenses. Over time, his popularity waned as literary tastes shifted towards modernism, but his work remains an important component of Victorian literary history, reflecting the crosscurrents of classical scholarship and romantic poetry which characterized the late 19th century.
