The Sundering Flood is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with the element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present-day fantasy literature.[1] The Sundering Flood was Morris' last work of fiction, completed only in rough draft, with the ending dictated from his deathbed. It was edited posthumously by his daughter May into finished form for publication and published in 1897.Morris considered his fantasies a revival of the medieval tradition of chivalrous romances; consequently, they tend to have sprawling plots of strung-together adventures.[citation needed] His use of archaic language has been seen as difficult by some modern readers.

The Sundering Flood is the last of a series of heroic fantasies that William Morris wrote during the final decade of his life. In it, he dramatized the democratic ideal toward which he worked in his public role as spokesman for the Socialist League. This ideal is visible from the novel's beginning, when, even though he is the youngest member of the household, Osberne's keen sense and bravery earn him the position of family spokesman. That is not to say that there is unanimity; one man, known as Surly John, speaks out against him but is shouted down by the rest. Surly John is never punished for his opposition, illustrating Morris' view that democracy must be founded on tolerance.Later, when trouble threatens, the people hold a Thing-Mote or town meeting to select Osberne as their war leader. This is not a position Osberne seeks, but the will of the people and his own recognition of his ability are too strong for him to decline. A strict democrat might protest against the "tyranny of the majority" visible in this election, but not when the minority consists only of Surly John.

Excerpt from The Sundering Flood, Vol. 2 of 2 But as he was on the point of turning away, Osberne said in a loud shrill voice Abide, master, and tell me one thing, to wit, the names of the steads which the thieves have wasted. Said Wulfstan: I may not, because I know not hereabout it is thin of dwell ings 't is a five miles ere ye shall happen on a good homestead, Longryggs to wit: here is nought but a little stead, fallen to be a cot, wherein dwell none save two women, one old and one young. It is not like that the thieves would have stayed for so little a thing. Farewell if the battle goes handily with us ye shall have tidings thereof tomorrow if ye will come down hither or a little lower down maybe, lest the Dwarfs begrudge us. And therewith he turned and went toward the place where they deemed they should find the battle. As for the Eastdalers, they might tarry no more in look ing to their wounded folk and a many were hurt so grievously, that they had to be borne home in the four corners Of whom was Stephen the Eater, and he lay long sick, but in the long last, and it was a two months.

Excerpt from The Sundering Flood, Vol. 1 of 2 City and its lands (and the city - folk in special) knew no cause for this name. Nay, oft they jested and gibed and gabbed, for they loved their river much and were proud of it; wherefore they said it was no sunderer but a uniter that it joined land to land and shore to shore; that it had peopled the wilderness and made the waste places blossom, and that no highway for wheels and beasts in all the land was so full of blessings and joys as was their own wet Highway of the Flood. Nevertheless, as meseemeth that no name is given to any town or mountain or river causeless, but that men are moved to name all steads for a remembrance of deeds that have been done and tidings that have befallen, or some due cause, even so might it well be with the Sundering Flood, and whereas also I wot something of that cause I shall now presently Show you the same.
