Morris believed that art and beauty should be accessible to everyone, and that society should be organized in a way that promotes equality and justice for all.Overall, William Morris: Poet, Craftsman, Socialist is a fascinating look at the life and work of a multifaceted artist and political thinker who had a profound impact on the cultural and social landscape of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
