DOWNLOAD EBOOKWilliam Morris (1834-1896) was an English artist, writer, socialist and activist. He was one of the principal founders of the British arts and crafts movement, best known as a designer of wallpaper and patterned fabrics, a writer of poetry and fiction and a pioneer of the socialist movement in Britain. Morris and his friends formed an artistic movement, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. They eschewed the tawdry industrial manufacture of decorative arts and architecture and favoured a return to hand-craftsmanship, raising artisans to the status of artists. He espoused the philosophy that art should be affordable, hand-made, and that there should be no hierarchy of artistic mediums. His best-known works are The Defence of Guinevere, and Other Poems (1858), Hopes and Fears for Art (1882), Chants for Socialists (1885), A Dream of John Ball: A King's Lesson (1888), The House of the Wolfings (1889), Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair (1895), Old French Romances (1896), The Well at the World's End (1896), and The Hollow Land (1897).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Pilgrims of Hope and Chants for Socialists The Pilgrims Of Hope was originally written for and contributed by William Morris to the early issues of The Commonweal, The Official Journal of the [London] Socialist League, during 1885-86. Shortly after its termination in July, 1886, the poem was brought together and privately reprinted by Mr. H. Buxton Forman with the following introductory Note: "When a few sections of this poem had appeared in The Commonweal many besides myself thought that The Pilgrims of Hope was not only a beautiful work, but by its subject and treatment highly important to educated readers. On the appearance of the last part, I tried to persuade Mr. Morris to publish the whole at once as a volume. He demurred, saying that the matter needed consideration and that the poem might want much revision. In several talks I upheld the view that it was not for such a work as this to lie buried in a socialist newspaper concerned mainly in questions of immediate politics, and so fail to come into the hands of more than a few among the reading classes who have his works in their libraries, as a permanent source of pleasure and profit. Failing to carry the point, I said we must have the poem in book form somehow, and that I would print a short issue in a decent manner privately for friends. Being unforbidden, I have proceeded to carry out my project; and indeed it has not been difficult to persuade the poet that a dozen or two copies cherished in libraries where the rest of his poems are lovingly guarded do not add one whit to the publicity of the book pending the arrival of the time when he may set about revising it for general circulation.
