William Morris. An illustrated life

William Morris was a man of extraordinary diversity - not only an artist and designer but also a poet and prose writer and later in life the founder of the Socialist League, a forerunner of the Labour Party. This is an excellent guide to the life and times of William Morris. Best remembered for his fabric designs, Morris was also an artist, weaver, bookbinder, calligrapher, poet, novelist and typesetter. The book includes his early influences, the Firm, his love for the beautiful Janey and the success of Morris and Co.
