It is commonly argued that William Morris's notion of the good
society is uniquely tolerant - a claim which this book tests,
asking whether Victorian medievalism and the associated ideal of
hospitality offered Morris the resources to develop a new
conception of utopia, characterized by openness rather than
classical exclusivity. This central theme is addressed across a
range of artistic and intellectual contexts, from Victorian
neo-feudalism to socialism and the Arts and Crafts Movement, and
drawing from work in literature, architecture, anthropology,
political theory, law, art history and translation. Together with
an analysis of the roots and legacy of Morris's work, the book
offers a detailed survey of his many projects. Dr MARCUS WAITHE
lectures in Victorian Literature at the University of Sheffield.
