While most critics have seen this poem as the antithesis of the radical socialist politics that Morris embraced later in his career, or, at best, as an awkward prelude to that later development, Jeffrey Skoblow proposes that \u003ci\u003eThe Earthly Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e is in fact central to Morris's political vision-indeed, it is the most radical manifestation of that vision. \u003ci\u003eParadise Dislocated\u003c\/i\u003e explores the problematic relations between critical thought, art, utopian aspirations, and dystopian realities. It proposes a revaluation of Morris's poem and of his career as a whole, as well as a judgement upon the possibilities (and impossibilities) of imaginative and cultural criticism at Morris's moment-and at our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Skoblow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081392944X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813929446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Jeffrey Skoblow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311046390015,"sku":"9780813929446","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2554084e-c7b0-499c-a1c5-f15884491dd0.jpg?v=1695720795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paradise-dislocated-jeffrey-skoblow-9780813929446","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
