A tireless champion of her father William, and a gifted designer
and craftswoman in her own right, Mary (May) Morris (1862 1938) had
a unique insight into his extraordinary career and creativity. It
was she who undertook the exacting task of editing the twenty-four
volumes of her father's collected works (also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection). In 1936, towards the end of her
life, she published this supplementary two-volume work, which
includes further writings and sympathetic commentary, revealing
'the development of a mind which was singularly of one piece,
however many-sided'. Volume 1 addresses William Morris' artistic
and literary achievements. It contains May's introductory remarks
and chapters of analysis, nearly fifty miscellaneous pieces by
Morris on arts and crafts, items of verse juvenilia, several poems
of the Earthly Paradise period, two translations from Icelandic,
and several letters.
