A richly detailed biography, William Morris: His Life, Work and Friends chronicles the extraordinary life of one of Victorian England's most versatile and influential figures — poet, craftsman, textile designer, and socialist visionary. Philip Henderson presents an authoritative and intimate portrait of Morris, tracing his intellectual development from his Oxford years through his transformative friendships with Pre-Raphaelite artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones. The biography details Morris's revolutionary contributions to the Arts and Crafts Movement, his founding of Morris & Co., and his tireless campaign against the dehumanising effects of industrial capitalism. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible warmth, Henderson illustrates how Morris's restless genius reshaped Victorian aesthetics, interior design, and progressive politics in ways that continue to resonate today.
