A new edition highlighting the designs and patterns of William Morris which informed the visual style of the twentieth Century. William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many of us probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions. William Morris Masterpieces of Art offers a survey of his life and work alongside some of his finest decorative work.

The Pre-Raphaelites

Having returned home from wandering the nearby moors, Justin’s fear soon becomes realized. There on the floor lays a letter postmarked Dundee. Only one person he knows lives there, and that is Tom. They haven’t spoken to each other for three years—and for a good reason. The letter is asking Justin to make contact again. Initially unsure, he agrees to meet. Thirteen days is that journey. It is a story about the loss of friendship. It examines the consequences for Justin and Tom after having both denied their consciences. For three years, each man has lived within the dark shadow of their actions. Heartache fills both men’s lives. Will their meeting help them clear their consciences? Can their love overcome mistrust and nonforgiveness? This novel will take the reader on a roller coaster of human emotions and changing values and will ultimately leave them with more questions than answers. It is a narrative of triumph and hope over stagnation and resentment.

The twelve chapters in this volume seek to overcome the nationalist paradigm of Japanese repression and exploitation versus Korean resistance that has dominated the study of Korea’s colonial period (1910–1945) by adopting a more inclusive, pluralistic approach that stresses the complex relations among colonialism, modernity, and nationalism. By addressing such diverse subjects as the colonial legal system, radio, telecommunications, the rural economy, and industrialization and the formation of industrial labor, one group of essays analyzes how various aspects of modernity emerged in the colonial context and how they were mobilized by the Japanese for colonial domination, with often unexpected results. A second group examines the development of various forms of identity from nation to gender to class, particularly how aspects of colonial modernity facilitated their formation through negotiation, contestation, and redefinition.
