  • William Morris's Culture of Nature
    IV The Object of Work 1. Decent surroundings It has been well-established that during the mid to late 1870s Morris became increasingly involved in public political debate, I and that in lectures and letters to the press he began to produce an educating, agitating discourse formulated initially upon his 'hopes and fears for art'.2 More recently, particular attention has been drawn to the ways that Morris's writings on art and society reveal 'a deep and resonant late­ nineteenth-century critique of contemporary environmental and social devastation'? These discussions have explored Morris's views on the preservation of 'the environment',4 and have tended to emphasise the 'eco-communal' or 'green' aspects of his work. Certainly the desire to protect and preserve the 'beauty of the earth' is a significant feature of Morris's rhetoric at this time. Yet perhaps more fundamental to his lectures and letters of the late 1870s and early 1880s is a concern to establish 'decent surroundings': to offer a view of the earth as a place of human habitation. Nature played an important, though not always central, role in his arguments. Yet what is apparent from the way he discusses nature is his increasing awareness that nature and humanity are interlinked, and that nature is frequently the object of human I Morris's first venture into politics was his involvement in the debate surrounding the 'Eastern Question'. In early 1876 a bankrupt Turkish government retaliated against an uprising of Christians in their Bulgarian province by massacring thousands. Morris was angered when Disraeli's Conservative Government proposed that Britain should intervene on behalf of Turkey against the threat of a Russian invasion.

  • Finding William Morris in the Darlington Schoolhouse Project: Arts and Crafts Architecture, Historical Preservation and Ecosophy
    Finding William Morris in the Darlington Schoolhouse Project: Arts and Crafts Architecture, Historical Preservation and Ecosophy David Kopp In 1890, when Dudley Newton and his team of local craftsmen began building the Darlington Schoolhouse, they were working in the tradition of Arts and Crafts architecture which owed its inception and appeal largely to the work and writings of William Morris (1834-1896). Poet, novelist, designer, green- spaces advocate, and conservator of ancient buildings, Morris was the leading member of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England, and his vicarious connection to the historic Darlington Schoolhouse and its modern repurposing seems remarkably serendipitous. Like many men of letters of his time, William Morris longed for a change that would bring a better life for the working poor living in the polluted cities of the industrial revolution. As a boy, Morris came to appreciate the beauty of the medieval landscape that lay before him in the castles and cathedrals scattered throughout the English countryside, and he developed a strong belief that life in the Middle Ages was in many ways better than it was in the nineteenth century. In his utopian fantasy novel of 1890, News from Nowhere, he describes a future England in the year 2152. Remarkably, although there are modern machines using clean energy, much about the place resembles the 14th century: there are no factories, people work with pleasure at hand-crafts and on farms, the rivers are clean, the air is without smoke and pollution and the architecture is both simple and beautiful, embracing historic designs, but “without copying of any one of these styles.” In 1859 Morris built a house to apply his architectural philosophy in practice.

Morris was a designer in the Arts and Crafts Movement, setting up Morris & Co. on Oxford Street using co-operative style guild workshops and was a prolific writer on workers’ rights and freedom of speech. Children will be encouraged to think about justice, working conditions and how their material environment affects their socio-economic situation through experiential learning, analytical exercises, reflection, and debate, enabling them to build a strong historical grounding. This will be achieved by splitting school visitors into three rotating groups where they will experience working in a production line, have the opportunity to handle Victorian objects, and develop a campaign which they can continue afterwards, leading to active citizenship. The workshop has been developed through the Learning Links programme with a Citizenship teacher and also incorporates the British Library’s Campaign! Make an Impact initiative. These new workshops will also be available online as a resource pack, providing a valuable educational resource for all, which can then be adapted as necessary. 4" 9(43 Kelmscott House, Hammersmith London, where William Morris held meetings and

  • The Aristophanes of Hammersmith: William Morris As Playwright
    The Aristophanes of Hammersmith: William Morris as Playwright Jo George It is widely acknowledged that William Morris was one of the most talented poly- maths ever to come out of England, and that his abilities as artist, poet, political essayist, designer and printer are beyond question. Few, however, would make claims for Morris as a playwright. This is partly because his dislike of Victorian theatregoers, and the plays on oVer to them is so well-documented, in articles such as the one Morris wrote for To-day in 1884.1 May Morris also stated that: ‘As a form of art my father disliked the modern play, as an amusement it bored him almost (sometimes quite) to swearing point, and modern acting, with its appeal to the emotions, its elaborate realism and character-study, was intolerable’.2 Morris’s attitude to Shakespeare was also sur- prisingly ambivalent, for although he included him in his list of Best Hundred Books, or Bibles,3 he clearly felt that the plays were better suited to being read than being staged. Ever the mediaevalist, Morris had, according to his daughter May, a ‘dislike for the plays as formalized since Shakespeare’s time’.4 For all this, Morris experimented with dramatic forms on numerous occasions throughout his career. It has been argued that, aside from The Tables Turned; or Nupkins Awakened (1887), the long poem Love is Enough (1873), and also four poems in The Defence of Guenevere (1858) are also experimental dramas in their own right. In addition, as explored below, all of these texts owe something to the main types of theatrical entertainment staged during the Middle Ages; the Mystery and Morality plays.
