William Morris

With its radical blend of utopian socialism and science fiction, William Morris' novel News from Nowhere caused a stir when it was first published in instalments in the Commonweal in 1890. A copy of this rare edition - only 300 were produced - is held in the National Art Library at the V&A. This publication is a reproduction of that volume.

A beautiful and informative gift book devoted to designs by William Morris that incorporate flowers--a central motif in his oeuvre and one that played a part in the majority of his designs.
