Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Morris (1834-1896) was an English artist, writer, socialist and activist. He was one of the principal founders of the British arts and crafts movement, best known as a designer of wallpaper and patterned fabrics, a writer of poetry and fiction and a pioneer of the socialist movement in Britain. Morris and his friends formed an artistic movement, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. They eschewed the tawdry industrial manufacture of decorative arts and architecture and favoured a return to hand-craftsmanship, raising artisans to the status of artists. He espoused the philosophy that art should be affordable, hand-made, and that there should be no hierarchy of artistic mediums. His best-known works are The Defence of Guinevere, and Other Poems (1858), Hopes and Fears for Art (1882), Chants for Socialists (1885), A Dream of John Ball: A King's Lesson (1888), The House of the Wolfings (1889), Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair (1895), Old French Romances (1896), The Well at the World's End (1896), and The Hollow Land (1897).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pilgrims of Hope and Chants for Socialists The Pilgrims Of Hope was originally written for and contributed by William Morris to the early issues of The Commonweal, The Official Journal of the [London] Socialist League, during 1885-86. Shortly after its termination in July, 1886, the poem was brought together and privately reprinted by Mr. H. Buxton Forman with the following introductory Note: "When a few sections of this poem had appeared in The Commonweal many besides myself thought that The Pilgrims of Hope was not only a beautiful work, but by its subject and treatment highly important to educated readers. On the appearance of the last part, I tried to persuade Mr. Morris to publish the whole at once as a volume. He demurred, saying that the matter needed consideration and that the poem might want much revision. In several talks I upheld the view that it was not for such a work as this to lie buried in a socialist newspaper concerned mainly in questions of immediate politics, and so fail to come into the hands of more than a few among the reading classes who have his works in their libraries, as a permanent source of pleasure and profit. Failing to carry the point, I said we must have the poem in book form somehow, and that I would print a short issue in a decent manner privately for friends. Being unforbidden, I have proceeded to carry out my project; and indeed it has not been difficult to persuade the poet that a dozen or two copies cherished in libraries where the rest of his poems are lovingly guarded do not add one whit to the publicity of the book pending the arrival of the time when he may set about revising it for general circulation.

Download or read book Walt Whitman and British Socialism written by Kirsten Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first sustained examination of Walt Whitman’s influence on British socialism. Harris combines a contextual historical study of Whitman’s reception with focused close readings of a variety of poems, books, articles, letters and speeches. She calls attention to Whitman’s own demand for the reader to ‘himself or herself construct indeed the poem, argument, history, metaphysical essay’, linking Whitman’s general comments about active reading to specific cases of his fin de siècle British socialist readership. These include the editorial aims behind the Whitman selections published by William Michael Rossetti, Ernest Rhys, and W. T. Stead and the ways that Whitman was interpreted and appropriated in a wide range of grassroots texts produced by individuals or groups who responded to Whitman and his poetry publicly in socialist circles. Harris makes full use of material from the C. F. Sixsmith and J. W. Wallace and the Bolton Whitman Fellowship collections at John Rylands, the Edward Carpenter collection in the Sheffield Archives, and the Archives of Swan Sonnenschein & Co. at the University of Reading. Much of this archive material – little of which is currently available in digital form – is discussed here in full for the first time. Accordingly, this study will appeal to those with interest in the archival history of nineteenth-century literary culture, as well as the connections to be made between literary and political culture of this era more generally.
Download or read book The Origins of Modern Irish Socialism 1881 1896 written by Fintan Lane and published by Cork University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly believed that James Connolly initiated modern Irish socialism when he founded the Irish Socialist Republican Party in May 1896. This book challenges that myth by making available for the first time a detailed history of the beginnings of modern Irish socialism. Based on original sources, this study traces the development of socialism in Ireland from the influence of William Thompson, Marx and the First International through to the arrival of Connolly and the struggle for independence. The author explores the radicalizing element of the land war, the impact of British socialism in Ireland, and the emergence of socialist organizations in Dublin. He also examines the leading role played by socialists in the politicization of the labour movement and charts their changing position in relation to Irish independence.
