Beschreibung:
Regarded as one of the greats of the 19th century, the full extent of his genius has rarely been explored. As well as a designer still known today, he was also the founder of a socialist movement, and was a poet who ranked alongside Tennyson and Browning. MacCarthy looks at all facets of his character, his personal life, and his remarkable circle of friends.
William Morris: A Life for Our Time by Fiona MacCarthy is the magisterial biography of one of the great figures of Victorian arts and crafts, from one of our greatest popular historians.
