The Collected Works of William Morris: With Introductions by His Daughter May Morris (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781108051309)

A creative titan of the Victorian age, William Morris (1834-96) produced a prodigious variety of literary and artistic work in his lifetime. In addition to his achievements as a versatile designer at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement, Morris distinguished himself as a poet, translated Icelandic sagas and classical epics, wrote a series of influential prose romances, and gave lectures promoting his socialist principles. His collected works, originally published in 24 volumes between 1910 and 1915, were edited by his daughter Mary (May) Morris (1862-1938), whose introductions to each volume chart with insight and sympathy the development of her father's literary, aesthetic and political passions. Volume 16 contains Morris' utopian socialist novel News from Nowhere (1890), the prose piece A Dream of John Ball (1888) and the short tale A King's Lesson (1888).
