A wide-ranging collection of essays written for the William Morris
Society exploring the various intersections between the life, work
and achievements of William Morris (1834-1896) and that of John
Ruskin (1819-1900). Subjects covered include Ruskin's connection
with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the promotion of craft skills and
meaningful work, Morris and the division of labour, Ruskin's
engagement with education and the environment, Ruskin and the art
and architecture of Red House, the parallels between Ruskin's
support for Laxey Mill and Morris's Merton Abbey Works, the
illustrated manuscript and the contrasts between Ruskin's Tory
paternalism and Morris's revolutionary socialism. The book includes
articles first published in The Journal of William Morris Studies
between 1977 and 2012 and new pieces written especially for this
volume. Ruskin's beliefs had a profound and lasting impact on
Morris who wrote, upon first reading Ruskin whilst at Oxford
University, that his views offered a "new road on which the world
should travel" - a road that led Morris to social and political
change.
