"William Morris (1834-1896) was a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts Movement and is one of the most influential designers in British history. With his emphasis on originality, artistry and craftsmanship, Morris helped revolutionize the late Victorian interior, and initiated changes to the way we think about how things are made, what we own, our relationship with nature, and how we live and work that continue to be relevant in the 21st century. [...] Published to mark the 125th anniversary of Morris's death, this book is the most comprehensive and well-illustrated study of the designer, craftsman and activist available. Edited by Anna Mason, former curator and manager at the William Morris Gallery, London, and with essays by leading experts, it draws on the most up-to-date scholarship and the impressive collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, as well as those of numerous other institutions in Britain and abroad" -- Book jacket flap.
