House of the Wolfings
House of the Wolfings, published in 1890 by William Morris, is a pioneering work in the fantasy genre, set in an entirely invented world inspired by ancient Germanic and Norse cultures. The narrative follows Thiodolf and his clan, the Wolfings, as they resist Roman invaders, showcasing Morris's blend of historical knowledge and mythical elements. The story also reflects Morris's socialist ideals through its depiction of a clan-based society that elects leaders and engages in communal decision-making. Notably, the protagonist is protected by a magical coat of mail, which carries both blessings and curses.
