William Morris's interests were wide-ranging: he was a poet,
writer, political and social activist, conservationist and
businessman, as well as a brilliant and original designer and
manufacturer. This book explores the balance between Morris's
various spheres of activity and influence, places his art in the
context of its time and explores his ongoing and far-reaching
legacy. A pioneer of the Arts & Crafts Movement, William Morris
(1834-1896) is one of the most influential designers of all time.
Morris turned the tide of Victorian England against an increasingly
industrialized manufacturing process towards a rediscovered respect
for the skill of the maker. Morris's whole approach still resonates
today, and his designs are popular and much admired. Published to
mark the 125th anniversary of Morris's death, this book includes
contributions from a wide range of Morris experts, with chapters on
painting, church decoration and stained glass, interior decoration,
furniture, tiles and tableware, wallpaper, textiles, calligraphy
and publishing. Additional materials include a contextualized
chronology of Morris's life and a list of public collections around
the world where examples of Morris's work may be seen today. This
study is a comprehensive, fully illustrated exploration of a great
thinker and artist, and essential reading for anyone interested in
the history of design. With 668 illustrations in colour
