Students new to the work of William Morris will find the full range
of his achievements covered in this reissue of Peter Faulkner's
excellent biography, first published in 1980. The author has
carefully placed Morris in the context of the Victorian age, but
has also suggested the relevance of his ideas today. The six
chapters are organised biographically and cover all aspects of
Morris's work in poetry, fiction, design and socialist politics.
The emphasis is on his continuous struggle against the age in which
he lived, seen as an idealism which went through various stages
from the wistfulness of The Earthly Paradise through the practical
activities of the firm of Morris & Company to the socialism of
Morris's later years. The book quotes freely from writings by
Morris not easily accessible at present and gives an overall
account from which the student can develop his specialist
interests. This reissue will appeal to sixth-formers and
undergraduates interested in the Victorian period, as seen through
one of its most striking personalities.
