Abstract

Considered one of the most prominent actors of the Victorian era, William Morris (1843-1896) was a poet, artist, designer, and editor, and did not hesitate to express his socialist political views, which at the time were frowned upon by the estalishment. His encounters with Rossetti and Burne-Jones, as well as his religious studies, made him a man of manifold talents. From this mixture of genres, William Morris would go on to construct a remarkable career, applying his ideas through various enterprises he established under the name of the "William Morris Companies," revolutionizing both interi

Abstract

William Morris (1834-1896), par son éclectisme, fut l'une des personnalités emblématiques du XIXe siècle. Peintre, architecte, poète et ingénieur, maniant avec autant de talent la plume que le pinceau, il bouleversa la société victorienne en refusant les standards instaurés par l'industrie conquérante. Son engagement dans la rédaction du manifeste socialiste fut la suite naturelle de cette révolution qu'il incarna dans l'habitat, les formes et les couleurs. Précurseur des designers du XXe siècle, il fut le cofondateur, avec John Ruskin, du mouvement des Arts & Crafts. En homme libre, William M

Abstract

This volume re-evaluates the position of William Morris regarding contemporary perspectives on his artistic and political endeavours. Special emphasis is placed on the concepts and territories that lie in-between, both literally and metaphorically. This "in-between-ess" is the most remarkable quality of Morris, and secures him a unique position among his contemporaries, as well as inspiring new generations of scholars. Paradoxically, however, this aspect also contributes to a certain marginalization of Morris in studies devoted to "Eminent Victorians". Instead of speaking of ruptures, gaps or lacunas, the point of view adopted here explores the undefined terrenes situated between art and politics, viewing them as vantage points and departure planes which cement Morris's universe. At the same time, the book also argues that this universe has always existed in its specific shape and form, while the "poetic upholster", as Morris was ironically labelled, only discovered and explored different points on the map of a space that could have no limits and boundaries. The book offers new insights and avenues to supplement existing scholarship on Morris, including spatiotemporal aspects of his work and the relationship between art and politics.

Abstract

‘William Morris and the Uses of Violence, 1856–1890’ combines a close reading of Morris’s work with historical and philosophical analysis in order to argue, contrary to prevailing critical opinion, that his writings demonstrate an enduring commitment to an ideal of violent battle. The work examines Morris’s representations of violence in relation to the wider cultural preoccupations and political movements with which they intersect, including medievalism, Teutonism, and the visionary, fractured socialism of the ‘fin de siècle’.
