Kelmscott Manor is forever linked with the name of William Morris,
pioneer conservationist and utopian socialist, designer and father
of the Arts and Crafts tradition. The manor played a crucial role
in shaping his thought: at the climactic moment of his futuristic
novel, News from Nowhere, Morris lifts the latch of the Manors
garden gate and finds his personal holy grail. Morris was drawn by
the organic relationship between Kelmscott and its landscape: the
linkage of stone walls and roof tiles to the geology and the soil,
and the honest toil of the people to the agricultural cycle . The
fruits of the Kelmscott Landcape Project established in 1996 by the
Society of Antiquaries of London, the owners of Kelmscott Manor
today, this book is a multi-faceted examination of Kelmscotts
history. Archaeology, from prehistory to the present day, the
architectural development of the Manor before and after Morris knew
it, and the art that the village and Manor have inspiredall
received rich, illustrated coverage. The result is a vivid portrait
of a Thames-side village transformed by its association with
Morris, a book which demonstrates the rich connections between
culture and landscape in a particular place.
