William Morris-the great 19th century craftsman, architect,
designer, poet and writer-remains a monumental figure whose
influence resonates powerfully today. As an intellectual (and
author of the seminal utopian News From Nowhere), his concern with
artistic and human values led him to cross what he called the
'river of fire' and become a committed socialist-committed not to
some theoretical formula but to the day by day struggle of working
women and men in Britain and to the evolution of his ideas about
art, about work and about how life should be lived. Many of his
ideas accorded none too well with the reforming tendencies dominant
in the Labour movement, nor with those of 'orthodox' Marxism, which
has looked elsewhere for inspiration. Both sides have been inclined
to venerate Morris rather than to pay attention to what he said.
Originally written less than a decade before his groundbreaking The
Making of the English Working Class, E.P. Thompson brought to this
biography his now trademark historical mastery, passion, wit, and
essential sympathy. It remains unsurpassed as the definitive work
on this remarkable figure, by the major British historian of the
20th century.
