NY PUBLIC LIBRAF Tff THE LIFE OF WILLIAM MORRIS (( (l/t<iin G act )J. LIFE VTHE OF WILLIAM MORRIS BY J. W. MACKAIL VOLUME I NEW EDITION LONGMANS, GREEN AND CO. LONDON, NEW YORK & BOMBAY 1901 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE. First printed, April 1899 ; Reprinted, May 1899 ; Oftober 1899. New and cheaper edition, large crown 8vo., 1901. r \\ V \ DIVO PATRI J. W. M. M. B.-J. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION THIS biography was undertaken by me at the special request of Sir Edward Burne-Jones. I will not attempt to say how much it owes to his guidance and encourage- ment, nor how much it has lost by their removal. When the task of writing the life of Morris was placed in my hands, his family and representatives gave me un- reserved access to all the materials in their possession. To them, and more especially to his executors, Mr. F. S. Ellis and Mr. S. C. Cockerell, I owe my best thanks for their friendly help. I am further indebted to Mr. Ellis for the index at the end of the book. Among the few survivors of Morris's earliest friends, I must express very special obligations to Mr. Cormell Price for generous and ungrudging assistance, and to the Rev. Canon R. W. Dixon. For information as to later years I am greatly indebted to Mr. Philip Webb, Mr. George Wardle, Mr. C. Fairfax Murray, Mr. William De Morgan, and Mr. Emery Walker, who were all long and closely associated with him both in work and in friendship. The partners of the firm of Morris & Co., Messrs. Smith and Mr. J. H. Dearie, have given me access to the early books of the firm and much valuable information with regard to Morris's conduct of the business. viii PREFACE I would take this opportunity of thanking all those others who have communicated letters or other material to me in the course of the work. To Lady Burne-Jones, whose share in the help given me has not been less than that of any one I have named, this is not the place where I can fully express my gratitude. 6, Pembroke Gardens, Kensington. 24th March, 1899.

THE LIFE OF WILLIAM MORRIS CHAPTER I WALTHAMSTOW, WOODFORD, AND MARLBOROUGH 1834-1852 cc POET, artist, manufacturer, and socialist, author of The Earthly Paradise": this terse unimpassioned entry in " " the Fasti Britannic! sums up, in a form of words which he would himself have accepted as substantially accurate, the life and work of a remarkable man. What place he may finally occupy in the remembrance of the world, how long or how distinctly his unique personality may stand out above the smooth surface of oblivion under which, sooner or later, the greatest names are over- whelmed together with the least, it does not rest with his contemporaries to determine. But those who knew him unite in desiring that some record may descend of one who, in an age of transition and confusion, set a certain before the ideal him and pursued it, through many paths which it led with the by him, undeviating constancy ; impulse of whose life had before his death wrought a silent revolution in those arts which he practised and and the whole of whose transfigured ; extraordinary powers were devoted towards no less an object than the reconstitution of the civilized life of mankind. William Morris, the eldest son and third child of William Morris and Emma Shelton, was born at Elm I. B 2 THE LIFE OF [1834 House, Clay Hill, Walthamstow, on the 24th of March, 1834. His ancestry was on neither side in any way remarkable, and family records in the undistinguished middle class, whether commercial or professional, to which both his parents belonged, are generally scanty in amount and do not go far back. Such facts as have been preserved may be briefly set down, without laying any stress on what is known or what is unknown in the history of the family. The Morrises were originally of Welsh descent, and their native country was the valley of the upper Severn and its tributaries, where the mixture or antagonism of two races in a country of exceptional natural beauty has bred a stock of fine physical quality, but of no remark- able " gift either of intellect or imagination. The quietest places under the sun/' so a local proverb describes that and so have been and still ever countryside ; they are, since the Welsh Marches were reduced to outward peace. Morris's grandfather (the first of the family, it is said, who dropped the Welsh Ap from his surname) settled in business in Worcester in the latter part of last century, " and throve there as a burgess, a man excellent in every relation of life, and very religious." He married Eliza- beth, daughter of Dr. Charles Stanley, a naval surgeon, who had retired from the service and was in practice at Nottingham. She is remembered and described by her grandchildren she lived to the age of eighty-five as a tall fine-looking woman. At Worcester their second son, William Morris, was born on the I4th of June, 1797. About 1 820, his father having then removed his business to London, he was entered as a clerk in the firm of Harris, Sanderson & Harris, discount brokers, of 32, Lombard Street. It was a newly-founded London house. The Harrises were Quakers, and between them and the Morrises there was some family connexion. When a ALT. i] WILLIAM MORRIS 3 little over thirty, William Morris became a partner in the firm, which was now known as Sanderson & Co., and some years afterwards removed its place of business to 83, King William Street. Bill and discount broking, then even more than now, was a class of business carried on by a comparatively limited number of persons, whose status and social consideration approached those of private bankers. Competition was not keen, and the members of established firms lived in ease and even opulence. Mr. Morris married soon after his admission to part- nership in the firm. His wife, who long outlived him, and died in her ninetieth year so recently as 1894, was the daughter of a Worcester neighbour, Joseph Shelton. The Sheltons were a family with some history. The line can be traced back directly to a Henry Shelton, mercer, of Birmingham, in the reign of Henry VII.

  • The Harmony of Structure: the Earthly Paradise

    The Harmony of Structure: the Earthly Paradise

    CHAPTER I THE HARMONY OF STRUCTURE: THE EARTHLY PARADISE In the following analysis of The Earthly Paradise I shall try to show first what was Morris's purpose throughout the composition of the work, and secondly, what was his actual achievement, with its significance for English poetry. In bringing together in The Earthly Paradise stories and legends from various cultures and various periods, Morris did not set out to point the contrast between the classical, the medieval and the saga methods, which could have been done only by a strict preservation or reproduction of the methods of each type. He aimed rather at showing the contribution of each tradition to the common literary fund of Western Europe — especially of English literary tradition — as it crystallised towards the end of the Middle Ages, in the time of Chaucer, as he says explicitly himself, if not indeed — as internal evidence may perhaps lead us to conclude — during the century of Caxton and Malory, just after Chaucer's death. In the light of more discriminate modem examination of the Middle Ages, we may incline to think that the atmosphere which Morris evokes in The Earthly Paradise is that of the very end of the Middle Ages, just before Renaissance classicism was to make familiar a different, more scholarly attitude towards classical tra­ dition, and to render less easy the acceptance of popular traditional forms and methods (cf. infra pp. 26-7). Morris was thus deliberately returning to the historical moment at which he considered the national cultural tradition had last existed in a pure form unspoilt by the "pride of pedantry"9 which he judged guilty of divorcing culture from the mass of the nation.

The word "salubrious" comes from the Latin word "salubris" meaning "healthy; wholesome; sound; useful; vigorous". Webster's dictionary defines the English derivative "salubrious" as: 1. favorable to, or promoting health or well being; invigorating; 2. spiritually wholesome; conducive to good results". It is in this context of fully promoting the health and well being of the White Race that we use this term in its true literal meaning. We of the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR want to differentiate this term from "Natural Hygiene popularly used for many decades by health practitioners devoted to this worthy art and science.

FROM SHAKESPEAREAN HEROINE TO PRE-RAPHAELITE MUSE DANA PERCEC West University of Timișoara [email protected] Abstract: The paper aims to make a connection between the female models of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the portrayal of Shakespearean heroines, given that the 19th-century school of painting was using the Bard not only as a source of legitimation and authority, but also as a source of displacement, tackling apparently universal and literary subjects that were in fact disturbing for the Victorian sensibilities, such as love and eroticism, neurosis and madness, or suicide. As more recent scholarship has revealed, the women behind the Brotherhood, while posing as passive and contemplative, objects on display for the public gaze, had more agency and mobility than the average Victorian women. Keywords: Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, female models, Victorian sensibilities, Shakespearean heroines, sisterhood. 1. Introduction The Pre-Raphaelite movement has received a lot of critical attention both in artistic terms and in terms of the literary sources of inspiration this school of painting used. The founders, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt were members of the same generation of young imaginative artists, but even half a century after the first PRB exhibition in 1848, a late Pre-Raphaelite like John William Waterhouse had the same technical and aesthetic approach. Escapist and nostalgic, the Pre-Raphaelite painting favours medieval settings, Biblical or mythological themes, lavish costumes and vivid colours. Above all, it brings to the forefront the female subject: beautiful young women in a melancholy pose, enigmatic and inactive, statuesque and aloof.
