News from Nowhere de William Morris

News from Nowhere

Autor William Morris
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 feb 2017
One fateful day narrator William Guest falls asleep after returning from a Socialist League meeting and awakes to find himself years in the future. This world is a socialist pastoral paradise in which capitalism, private property, and industry have been overthrown and where people live in equality and contentment. The book addresses the balance of work and reward, expressing Morris' idea that mastery could be replaced by fellowship.
The first in a series of facsimile editions of collectible books from the National Art Library to be produced in partnership with the V&A, News from Nowhere is one of the most important English literary works on the theme of utopia. The novel, written by visionary English textile designer William Morris in 1890, is reproduced here for the first time in an accessible facsimile based on the original Kelmscott Press edition held in the collection of the V&A's National Art Library.

Notă biografică

William Morris (1834-1896) was an English artist, designer, social reformer and writer associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the Arts and Crafts Movement. One of the most influential thinkers and artists of his time, his interest in politics and social reform led him to help found the Socialist League in 1884. Morris's belief in art as the expression of joy in labour had its final flowering in the Kelmscott Press, which he established in 1891 and which was to have a profound influence on book design and production.

Descriere

An exquisite reproduction of the Kelmscott Press edition of William Morris's seminal 1890 novel.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Written in 1890, at the close of William Morris's most intense period of political activism, News from Nowhere is a compelling articulation of his mature views on art, work, community, family, and the nature and structure of the ideal society. A utopian narrative of a future society, it is also an immensely entertaining novel.

This Broadview edition includes a wide variety of contextualizing documents, including portions of Morris's essays, lectures, and journalism; excerpts from precursor utopian texts; writings on Bloody Sunday, art, work, and revolution; and contemporary reviews.
