This book offers a new interpretation of William Morris's
utopianism as a strategic extension of his political writing.
Morris's utopian writing, alongside his journalism and public
lectures, constituted part of a sustained counter-hegemonic project
that intervened both into the life-world of the fin de siecle
socialist movement, as well as the dominant literary cultures of
his day. Owen Holland demonstrates this by placing Morris in
conversation with writers of first-wave feminism,
nineteenth-century pastoralists, as well as the romance revivalists
and imperialists of the 1880s. In doing so, he revises E.P.
Thompson's and Miguel Abensour's argument that Morris's utopian
writing should be conceived as anti-political and heuristic,
concerned with the pedagogic education of desire, rather than with
the more mundane work of propaganda. He shows how Morris's
utopianism emerged against the grain of the now-here, embroiled in
instrumental, propagandistic polemic, complicating Thompson's and
Abensour's view of its anti-political character.
