Description
Poet, designer, craftsman, environmentalist and maker of fine books, William Morris (1834-1896) was also a committed socialist, preoccupied with the struggle to achieve a perfect society on earth. Among the most important of English utopias, "News from Nowhere" is the tale of William Guest, a Victorian socialist. Guest wakes one morning to find himself in the year 2102 and discovers a society that has changed beyond recognition. The industrial squalor of the England he knows has given way to a pastoral paradise, where people live in equality and contentment. A socialist masterpiece, "News from Nowhere" is a vision of a future free from capitalism, alienation, and industrialization. This volume also contains a selection of Morris's romances, lectures, journalism and letters, which expand upon the key themes of "News from Nowhere". -- From publisher's description.
