News from Nowhere and Other Writings (Penguin Classics)

A dreamer who made dreams come true, talented genius William Morris taught himself 13 different crafts and became the greatest European pattern-designer since the Middle Ages. In addition, he was a campaigning socialist, innovative environmentalist, lyric poet, compelling journalist, gifted storyteller and superb bookmaker. News from Nowhere and Other Writings features a variety of Morris’ prose on the theme of earthly paradise. Written in 1890, the gripping News from Nowhere refers to a utopian England in 2102, a perfect pastoral society created by revolution.
