Summary:

"This book is a comprehensive survey of this busy, varied and productive life [of William Morris]. It gives an account of Morris's early years, his important friendships with Burne-Jones, Philip Webb and Rossetti and the ideas which led to the foundation of Morris & Co. It discusses his writing throughout his life and charts his relationship with socialism. Finally it assesses the influence left behind by the man, the poet, the designer and the socialist."--Book jacket.
