political activism, eco-socialism, and book collecting and design. Each chapter provides
valuable historical and literary background information, reviews relevant opinions on
its subject from the late-nineteenth century to the present, and offers new approaches
to important aspects of its topic.
Morris’s eclectic methodology and the perennial relevance of his insights and practice
make this an essential handbook for those interested in art history, poetry,
translation, literature, book design, environmentalism, political activism, and
Victorian and utopian studies. |
