News from Nowhere(1890) is the best-known prose work of William
Morris and the only significant English utopia to be written since
Thomas More's. The novel describes the encounter between a visitor
from the nineteenth century, William Guest, and a decentralized and
humane socialist future. Set over a century after a revolutionary
upheaval in 1952, these "Chapters from a Utopian Romance" recount
his journey across London and up the Thames to Kelmscott Manor,
Morris's own country house in Oxfordshire. Drawing on the work of
John Ruskin and Karl Marx, Morris's book is not only an evocative
statement of his egalitarian convictions but also a distinctive
contribution to the utopian tradition. Morris's rejection of state
socialism and his ambition to transform the relationship between
humankind and the natural world, give News from Nowhere a
particular resonance for modern readers. This text is based on the
1891 version, incorporating the extensive revisions made by Morris
to the first edition.
