William Morris

Set over a century after a revolutionary upheaval in 1952, these 'Chapters from a Utopian Romance' recount the character William Guest's journey across London and up the Thames to Kelmscott Manor, Morris's own country house in Oxfordshire. Drawing on the work of John Ruskin and Karl Marx, Morris's book is not only astatement of his egalitarian convictions but also a distinctive contribution to the utopian tradition.

Being Some Chapters from a Utopian Romance

News from Nowhere, Or, An Epoch of Rest

Poet, pattern-designer, environmentalist and maker of fine books, William Morris (1834-96) was also a committed socialist and visionary writer, obsessively concerned with the struggle to achieve a perfect society on earth. News From Nowhere, one of the most significant English works on the theme of utopia, is the tale of William Guest, a Victorian who wakes one morning to find himself in the year 2102 and discovers a society that has changed beyond recognition into a pastoral paradise, in which all people live in blissful equality and contentment. A socialist masterpiece, News From Nowhere is a vision of a future free from capitalism, isolation and industrialisation. This volume also contains a wide selection of Morris's writings, lectures, journalism and letters, which expand upon the key themes of News From Nowhere.

They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives � and destroyed them.

Poems By The Way & Love Is Enough

Poète, écrivain, décorateur et pionnier du socialisme britannique, William Morris (1834-1896) exècre la société de son temps. Il s'insurge contre les effets dévastateurs de la mécanisation et de la recherche du profit sur les conditions de travail et la vie des ouvriers. La richesse produite par le système économique non seulement engendre de la laideur, mais se résume aussi à une forme de domination car injustement partagée ; elle s'oppose à la prospérité, ce bien-être matériel et moral de tous les individus auquel contribue l'art.

Art, bien-être et richesse : Et autres récits

Fondateur du mouvement Arts and Crafts, William Morris (1834-1896) était aussi un activiste libertaire nourri d'idéaux socialistes. « Travail utile, fatigue inutile » est l'un de ses textes fondamentaux. La révolution industrielle, la démesure de la production dans le capitalisme émergent, nourries de la pensée libérale utilitariste, ont consacré l'idée d'un travail de plus en plus aliénant, qui a rompu avec le réel, le monde et la nature. Le basculement de l'artisanat vers l'industrie a ôté au travail son utilité, qui réside dans le repos, la qualité du produit et le plaisir que l'on tire du travail bien fait. À l'heure des bullshit jobs et de l'ubérisation des métiers, ce texte prémonitoire fait figure de manifeste, de bréviaire, alors que le modèle économique mis en place depuis, dévastateur pour l'homme et la nature, semble arrivé en bout de course.
