William Morriss Utopianism

The book presents a fresh interpretation of William Morris's utopianism as a vital extension of his political writing, positioning it within the broader context of the fin de siècle socialist movement. By engaging with various literary figures, including first-wave feminists and pastoralists, the author, Owen Holland, challenges traditional views that label Morris's work as merely anti-political. Instead, he argues that Morris's utopianism actively engages in political discourse, complicating existing theories about its nature and purpose.
