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?'

A far-sighted Victorian, William Morris was a pioneering socialist, book designer and decorative artist, founder of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, and author of intense short lyrics, long poetic narratives, and utopian-socialist prose romances. This annotated critical edition is the first attempt to make Morris's 42,000-word verse sequence accessible to a modern audience. The edition's scholarly apparatus also records the location of extant manuscripts and provides full scholarly collations of changes made in Morris's text during his lifetime. Extensive reader aids for enhanced comprehension and a wealth of references relating the work to art, history, and politics are two of this book's most important features. In addition, sample illustrations and original initials provide a sense of The Earthly Paradise's original appearance and design.
The youngest son of King Peter, leaves his family home to explore
the world, meet new people, and discover the Well at the World's
End. It's an unconventional hero's journey that takes the
protagonist on a life-changing adventure. King Peter has four sons,
all of whom are eager to leave home. He allows three of them to
travel the world but forces his youngest boy, Ralph, to stay.
Despite his father's ruling, Ralph sets out on his own adventure
without his family's blessing. While on the road, he encounters
exciting and unusual characters, including the Lady of Abundance
and the maiden Ursula. When he learns of the powerful Well at the
World's End, his journey takes a sudden and unexpected turn. The
Well at the World's End is full of distinct characters and vivid
imagery. William Morris weaves a fantastical tale driven by
curiosity and romance. This story is a standout within its genre
and among Morris' impressive catalog. With an eye-catching new
cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The
Well at the World's End is both modern and readable.
