First printed in The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine in 1856, &quot;The Hollow Land&quot; by William Morris is a beautifully written story where the prose and imagery are vivid and wonderful.<br />The plot is based on the search of hollow land where, the narrator saw his first love.<br /><br />&quot;The Hollow Land&quot; is the most sophisticated work of William Morris&rsquo;s stories in <i>The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine</i>. Each of these stories has a medieval setting, and focuses on family lineage and knightly heroism, however, &ldquo;The Hollow Land&rdquo; adds a moral ambiguity absent from the earlier stories.<br /><br />Morris was not only the most prolific contributor to <i>The</i> <i>Oxford and Cambridge Magazine</i> but also its instigator, its first editor, and its sole financial backer.
