This well illustrated book celebrates every aspect of the
wide-ranging achievements of William Morris - writer, designer,
cultural critic, revolutionary socialist - with particular emphasis
on their relevance to our own times. The book makes available
up-to-date Morris scholarship in accessible form. Written by a
group of international scholars who took part in a conference
marking the centenary of the death of Morris in 1896, the book has
sections devoted to Morris and Literature (covering texts from The
Earthly Paradise to the late romances); Morris, the Arts &
Crafts and the New World (including discussions of his influence in
Rhode Island, Boston, Ontario and New Zealand); and Morris, Gender
and Politics (with fresh consideration of his relation to Victorian
ideas of manliness and of the particular qualities of his
anti-statist politics). The latter section also draws attention to
a hitherto unknown play by Morris's daughter May and concludes with
an account of his biographer, the late E.P. Thompson.
