Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Morris, Poet, Craftsman, Socialist The personal life of William Morris is already known to us through Mr. Mackail's admirable biography as fully, probably, as we shall ever know it. My own endeavour has been to present a picture of Morris's busy career perhaps not less vivid for the absence of much detail, and showing only the man and his work as they appeared to the outer public. I have used as a basis for my narrative, the volumes by Mr. Mackail; William Morris, Us Art, his Writings, and his Public Life, by Aymer Vallance; The Books of William Morris, by H. Buxton Forman; numerous articles in periodicals, and Morris's own varied works. I wish to express my indebtedness to Mr. Bulkley of 42 East 14th Street, New York City, for permission to reproduce a number of Morris patterns in his possession, notably a fragment of the St. James's wallpaper.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Morris: Poet, Artist, Socialist; A Selection From His Writings Together With a Sketch of the Man The comparatively small body of revolutionary Socialists in England derive much of their importance from the fact that they have at their head a man of great genius in the person of Mr. William Morris - "poet, artist, agitator" - who has devoted his splendid gifts to the service of the Socialist Cause. In which of his many spheres of activity Mr. Morris has exercised the widest influence it would be hard to say; but it is as the sturdy Socialist lecturer who may be seen any Sunday during the summer months haranguing a crowd in one or another of the open spaces of London, that he is dearest to the "Common People" of the great metropolis. But his work is of far more than mere local interest: wherever his earnest zeal for human well-being becomes known, there he is sure to have many ardent admirers. I was, therefore, very glad when the editor of this series asked me to compile for it a volume containing a selection from Mr. Morris's writings; for I felt that the influence of such a writer upon those earnest men and women who are to-day, in this country, studying the social question, could not be other than beneficent.

Book excerpt: That Morris made himself a master of so many crafts and grappled even sosuccessfully as he did with the technical difficulties involved would besomewhat remarkable had he attempted none of the other undertakings in whichhe gained for himself a name to be remembered. His eagerness to express hisideals in a practical form led him on indefinitely. To the very last a new world toconquer roused his spirit and made him tingle to be off. For a man with the traceof the plodder in him such a career would have been an impossible one, butMorris went blithely from craft to craft by a series of leaps and bounds. Hestayed with each just long enough to understand its working principles and tomake himself efficient to teach others its peculiar virtues and demands, and hethen passed on....
Download or read book William Morris by Himself written by William Morris and published by Little Brown GBR. This book was released on 2004 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his own work and in his own words, the book traces the fascinating progress of William Morris, pre-Raphaelite poet and architectural student into designer, writer and pioneer socialist. His youthful enthusiasm for the Middle Ages and Gothic architecture fired him with the conviction that he must dedicate his life to 'Art'. Later letters written to friends explain how in the industrialised nineteenth century Morris become preoccupied with the loss of traditional skills and pride in work and during the last ten years of his life he became increasingly involved in political agitation, and his stories, poems and lectures all reflect his commitment to the socialist cause and his ideals for art and society. Other extracts from his letters and poems reveal more intimate aspects of Morris's life and personality, reflecting the despair and isolation he felt over the breakdown of his marriage and his reliance on the friends who helped him through his personal crisis. WILLIAM MORRIS BY HIMSELF is a tribute to an exceptional man, whose work and reputation have survived for more than a century.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, the essential biography of the father of the Arts and Crafts movement. The author, Fiona MacCarthy, is the curator of the National Portrait Gallery's 2014-15 exhibition Anarchy and Beauty: William Morris and His Legacy.'One of the finest biographies ever published in this country' A. S. Byatt Since his death in 1896, William Morris has come to be regarded as one of the giants of the Victorian era. But his genius was so many-sided and so profound that its full extent has rarely been grasped. Many people may find it hard to believe that the greatest English designer of his time, possibly of all time, could also be internationally renowned as a founder of the socialist movement, and could have been ranked as a poet together with Tennyson and Browning.With penetrating insight, Fiona MacCarthy has managed to encompass all the different facets of Morris's complex character, shedding light on his immense creative powers as artist and designer of furniture, fabrics, wallpaper, stained glass, tapestry and books, and as a poet, novelist and translator; his psychology and his emotional life; his frenetic activities as polemicist and reformer; and his remarkable circle of friends, literary, artistic and political, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones. Fiona MacCarthy's skilful drawing together of these disparate elements makes for a comprehensive and compelling biography.
