« L'œuvre d'art est une tentative vers l'unique, elle s'affirme comme un tout, comme un absolu et, en même temps, elle appartient à un système de relations complexes […]. Elle est matière et elle est esprit, elle est forme et elle est contenu […]. Elle est créatrice de l'homme, créatrice du monde et elle installe dans l'histoire un ordre qui ne se réduit à rien d'autre. » Un Éloge de la main complète ce texte. « La main arrache le toucher à sa passivité réceptive, elle l'organise pour l'expérience et pour l'action […]. Elle se mesure avec la matière qu'elle métamorphose, avec la forme qu'elle transfigure. Éducatrice de l'homme, elle le multiplie dans l'espace et dans le temps. »

Qu'est-ce que la matière ? Pourquoi les physiciens parlent-ils d'antimatière ? Comment définir la nature des corps ? Tout, jusqu'à nos sentiments et nos pensées, n'est-il que matière ? Si oui, qu'est-ce qui nous distingue des objets inanimés ? Nous est-il même possible, dans ces conditions, de parler, de réfléchir, de créer ? Voilà quelques-unes des questions auxquelles cette anthologie entend apporter des éléments de réponse. S'attachant, page après page, à circonscrire au plus près l'essence de la matière, elle permet de mettre au jour les ambiguïtés et les paradoxes que recouvre cette notion. Ce faisant, elle explore notamment le lien qui existe entre matière et perception, pose la question du fondement de la matière et des particules élémentaires ou encore analyse le geste révolutionnaire qui, dans l'art contemporain, instaure un primat de la matière sur la forme.

A creative titan of the Victorian age, William Morris (1834-96) produced a prodigious variety of literary and artistic work in his lifetime. In addition to his achievements as a versatile designer at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement, Morris distinguished himself as a poet, translated Icelandic sagas and classical epics, wrote a series of influential prose romances, and gave lectures promoting his socialist principles. His collected works, originally published in 24 volumes between 1910 and 1915, were edited by his daughter Mary (May) Morris (1862-1938), whose introductions to each volume chart with insight and sympathy the development of her father's literary, aesthetic and political passions. Volume 1 contains Morris' early verse, including The Defence of Guenevere (1858), as well as prose contributions to the short-lived Oxford and Cambridge Magazine.
