William Morris is perhaps best known today for the beautiful
textile designs he created under the banner of Morris & Co,
which continue to decorate homes around the globe. As one of the
leading lights of British socialism, however, he is less well
known, and this series of Morris's Manifestos seeks to highlight
his extraordinary contribution to the literary canon on subjects
socialist and artistic. Based on a lecture given at the Manchester
Royal Institution in 1883, Art, Wealth and Riches is a
thought-provoking essay that considers art as having educative and
aesthetic value that should be shared with the many, rather than
financial value that should be hoarded by the few. Morris asks: 'Is
art to be limited to a narrow class who only care for it in a very
languid way, or is it to be the solace and pleasure of the whole
people?'
