Thank you for this wonderful video of William Morris. I have attached a video response for you or any other people interested in his work. Best wishes, Erika in California.
William Morris became a socialist realising the utter destructive and ugliness that capitalism is, in his utopian novel of NEWS FROM NOWHERE he inspired many to politics of change beyond change as he wrote. Capitalism the wage slavery of immense humanity in a politicaly manipulated market mechanism of artificial scarcity for perpetuation of poverty and exploitation . Morris was a visionary a true modern revolutinary insisting in educating the working class for self emancipation.
Not for rich people, the thing is that he separated from industry, but the important thing is that he worked with national references and not academic references. He was socialist. "Art for the people" he said (sorry my english)
the irony of sympolpond and his comment ,though he has a point,was the the workers of England at the time where already condemned to a living hell,and how you can compare a gGeordie miner of say 1870(or a manchester Mill worker,ect. ) to a modern day worker in Starbucks is beyond my ken. At least Willam Morrris got off his ares and did something and trough the struggles of socialists the workers of to day have it much better. who ever posted this video thank you.
The irony of William Morris is that he was a socialist whose retrograde vision of social betterment would have condemned the laborers of England to toil like the present day baristas of Starbucks concocting exquisite Pre-Raphaelite artifacts for the classes that could afford to pay 100 times more for the hand-made item than the machine made one.
Finally, a tribute to undervalued Morris! I am a bit curious to the reason that at the end of the film that Burne Jones, Phillip Webb, and Emery Walker were not attributed along with Ruskin, Rossetti, Blunt, Murray and Janey Morris as collaborators.

Reminds us very persuasively what a versatile, polymathic figure Morris was.
