Excerpt from The Life of William Morris, Vol. 1
This biography was undertaken by me at the special request of Sir Edward burne-jones. I will not attempt to say how much it owes to his guidance and encourage ment, nor how much it has lost by their removal. When the task of writing the life of Morris was placed in my hands, his family and representatives gave me un reserved access to all the materials in their possession. To them, and more especially to his executors, Mr. F. 8.
Ellis and Mr. S. C. Cockerell, I owe my best thanks for their friendly help. I am further indebted to Mr. Ellis for the index at the end of the book.

Excerpt from The Life of William Morris, Vol. 1
Poet, artist, manufacture and socialist, author of "The Earthly Paradise" : - this terse unimpassioned entry in the "Fasti Britannici" sums up, in a form of words which he would himself have accepted as substantially accurate, the life and work of a remarkable man. What place he may finally occupy in the remembrance of the world, how long or how distinctly his unique personality may stand out above the smooth surface of oblivion under which, sooner or later, the greatest names are overwhelmed together with the least, it does not rest with his contemporaries to determine. But those who knew him unite in desiring that some record may descend of one who, in an age of transition and confusion, set a certain ideal before him and pursued it, through the many paths by which it led him, with undeviating constancy; the impulse of whose life had before his death wrought a silent revolution in those arts which he practised and transfigured; and the whole of whose extraordinary powers were devoted towards no less an object than the reconstitution of the civilized life of mankind.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This captivating biography provides an in-depth exploration of the life and mind of William Morris, a multifaceted figure who left an indelible mark on Victorian England. As a poet, artist, designer, and socialist, Morris's extraordinary talents and passionate beliefs propelled him to the forefront of numerous movements that shaped his era. The author delves into Morris's formative years, tracing his upbringing in a wealthy middle-class family and his education at Oxford, where he encountered the intellectual currents that would shape his worldview. The book explores Morris's deep love of nature, medievalism, and the arts, which found expression in his stunning poetry, intricate designs, and pioneering work in the Arts and Crafts movement. Beyond his artistic endeavors, the author examines Morris's political activism and his commitment to social justice. As a founder of the Socialist League, Morris emerged as a powerful voice for the working class, advocating for their rights and envisioning a society free from exploitation. This insightful biography not only chronicles Morris's extraordinary life but also illuminates the broader historical and cultural context that shaped his ideas and contributions. It sheds light on the interconnections between art, society, and politics, revealing the enduring legacy of one of the most influential figures of the 19th century.
