William Morris Romantic to Revolutionary by E.P. Thompson

Description

He designed the wallpapers that defined an era — and dreamed of a world without bosses. William Morris: Romantic to Revolutionary is the definitive biography of the Victorian designer, poet, and craftsman who became one of Britain’s most passionate socialist thinkers.

Across nearly 900 pages, you will trace Morris’s extraordinary transformation: from Pre-Raphaelite romantic and leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement to co-founder of the Socialist League and founder of the Kelmscott Press. You will discover how his love of beautiful, handmade work led him to challenge industrial capitalism, and how his utopian novel News from Nowhere still inspires visions of a fairer world.

E. P. Thompson (1924–1993), the renowned historian behind The Making of the English Working Class, first published this biography in 1955 and substantially revised it in 1976 — and it remains the essential portrait of the man and his age.
