During that time the journal has published nearly 120 articles, exploring all areas of Morris's social, political and environmental thought as well as his energetic political activism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributions gathered in this volume provide many original insights, as well as unearthing fresh material from the archives. The lifetime trajectory of Morris's politics and socialism is often discussed in ways that show how it emerges from, interconnects with and informs the many other areas of his work - art, design, literature, poetry, arts and crafts manufacture, fine book publishing and production. There is no other collection of articles of this type, with the range of contributors representing a virtual who's-who of Morris scholarship. William Morris's social and political values, his actions, his utopian writings and his libertarian socialism resonate even more widely today than perhaps they did in his own time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt a moment in history when disillusion and distrust of current politics and politicians has grown significantly, a figure such as Morris offers renewal and hope. This book allows great opportunities to reflect on the culture, context and genealogy of his beliefs while inviting the reader to revisit political possibilities and paths not taken... paths that perhaps should be embarked upon now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Blewitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180413242X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804132425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Exeter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.70d","brand":"John Blewitt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097225699583,"sku":"9781804132425","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-morriss-socialism-and-politics-john-blewitt-9781804132425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
