Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

'William Morris and the Uses of Violence, 1856-1890' combines a close reading of Morris's work with historical and philosophical analysis in order to argue, contrary to prevailing critical opinion, that his writings demonstrate an enduring commitment to an ideal of violent battle. The work examines Morris's representations of violence in relation to the wider cultural preoccupations and political movements with which they intersect, including medievalism, Teutonism, and the visionary, fractured socialism of the 'fin de siècle'.
