Collected Works of William Morris

This definitive edition of the works of William Morris, (1834-1896)--poet, artist, manufacturer, socialist, author and one of the most remarkable men of recent times--was lovingly edited by his daughter May. Originally published by Longmans, Green and Company in 24 volumes (1910 to 1915), the collection is exhaustive and includes Morris' poetical works, prose romances and essays on art and politics as well as his translations from the classics, Early English, French and Icelandic Sagas. Handsomely produced and printed in an elegant and easily-readable typeface, the original editions were limited to a total of just 1,050 copies. The highly-informed and sympathetic introductions by May Morris make a substantial contribution to the value of this collection for both the general reader and scholar.Morris, May is the author of 'Collected Works of William Morris', published 1992 under ISBN 9780415079723 and ISBN 0415079721.
