William Morris (Classic Reprint) by Alfred Noyes Pdf

Excerpt from William Morris I Have to thank many friends of William Morris, and some of his most intimate friends, for the kind help they have given me in attempting to suggest the portrait of so many-sided a man. The essential factor in all the branches of his activity was undoubtedly the poetic spirit in him. In all things he was a poet - in words, in tapestry, in socialism; and, by regarding him primarily as a poet, according to the scope of a volume in this series, it is possible to preserve the right unity of impression. It would have been easy to load the book with an imposing bulk of irrelevant letters and anecdotes. But it is hoped that economy of the reader's attention will be counted in this case for a virtue. Even Mr. Mackail has blurred the effect of his invaluable biography of Morris by irrelevancies. One really fails to understand the lapse of so careful and scholarly a writer into an elaborate comparison between William Morris and Dr. Samuel Johnson - a comparison, a suggested close likeness, not a contrast! It not only blurs the picture, but with many of Morris's old friends is simply a matter for unmixed mirth.

Early Poems of William Morris (Classic Reprint) by William Morris Pdf

Excerpt from Early Poems of William Morris The Romantic Revival. Ossian. - The beginnings of the Romantic Revival in England stand out in marked contrast to the works which represent to us the triumphs of the eighteenth century. At a time when Goldsmith, Churchill, Young, Blair and Thomson, Falconer and Gray were the acknowledged exponents of English poetry the first notes of revolt against formal, classic, and conventional expression were sounded through Western Europe by an obscure Scottish clergyman. In Ossian, poor in ideas and limited in range as it was, the eighteenth century found something of the mystery lying round and underneath Nature, of the heroes of dim legend and the spirits of the mist and the wind, and from its revolt of unfettered lyricism, the Romantic reaction may be said to date its inception.

The Art of William Morris by Aymer Vallance Pdf

Excerpt from The Art of William Morris: A Record Hough it was not my intention to write a preface, circumstances have made it necessary that I should do so. In the first place I wish it to be noticed that I chose purposely to call my book The Art of William Morris so as to show that it makes no claim to be a biography nor a record of any of his private and family affairs. Such a work I was neither asked nor authorized to write. It is true, of course, that I had the privilege of knowing the late Mr. Morris personally - from the year 1883 onwards until his death. At the same time I submit that, with two Or three very trifling exceptions, I have not introduced into the book any details of his life which were not already common property - which could not just as well have been strung together by any one who knew where to find the scattered references in Mr. Morris's own writings, and in various other publications, without ever having met Mr. Morris face to face; nor more than such as were necessary to link together the contents of the book in some sort of consecutive order.

William Morris by A. Clutton-Brock Pdf

Excerpt from William Morris: His Work and Influence It would be impossible to write any book about William Morris without making use of Mr. Mackail's life of him. My object in this book has not been to write a shorter life of Morris, but to explain his importance to his own time and to ours. I have been, however, under many obligations to Mr. Mackail, which I gratefully acknowledge. I have also made use of Miss May Morris's introduction to the collected edition of her fathers works, for which I have to thank her; and I am indebted to Lady Burne-Jones's life of her husband for a few facts and for more general impressions.

The Life of William Morris, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by J. W. Mackail Pdf

Excerpt from The Life of William Morris, Vol. 1 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. 8. 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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

William Morris, Poet, Craftsman, Socialist (Classic Reprint) by Elisabeth Luther Cary Pdf

Excerpt from William Morris, Poet, Craftsman, Socialist The personal life of William Morris is already known to us through Mr. Mackail's admirable biography as fully, probably, as we shall ever know it. My own endeavour has been to present a picture of Morris's busy career perhaps not less vivid for the absence of much detail, and showing only the man and his work as they appeared to the outer public. I have used as a basis for my narrative, the volumes by Mr. Mackail; William Morris, Us Art, his Writings, and his Public Life, by Aymer Vallance; The Books of William Morris, by H. Buxton Forman; numerous articles in periodicals, and Morris's own varied works. I wish to express my indebtedness to Mr. Bulkley of 42 East 14th Street, New York City, for permission to reproduce a number of Morris patterns in his possession, notably a fragment of the St. James's wallpaper.

The Poems of William Morris (Classic Reprint) by William Morris Pdf

Excerpt from The Poems of William Morris In 1860, Morris built for himself Red House, near Upton, in Kent. His contempt for modern designs was a serious bar to the work of procuring furniture for his home, and led to the establishment of the firm of Morris Cc., in April, 1861. Rossetti and Peter Paul Mar shall, designers, and Morris, burne-jones, Ford Madox Brown, Webb, and Faulkner, craftsmen, were the members of the firm, and in the beginning did most of the work themselves. Besides the production of furni ture for Red House, church decoration was their main employment. They occupied the old rooms at Red Lion Square, and advertised themselves as Fine Art Work men in Painting, Carving, Furniture and the Metals. At Red House, Morris lived for four happ ears. Two children were born here, Jane Alice in 1g615: and May in 1862. During these years, he projected a cycle of poems upon the Trojan War, and wrote a great part of it, but it was never finished, and none of the single poems were published. The business of the firm increased. Morris furnished most of the capital and was, from the start, the most active of the partners. In 1865, he took a house in Queen Square, Bloomsbury, and moved thither both his family and his business.

The Books of William Morris by H. Buxton Forman Pdf

Excerpt from The Books of William Morris: Described With Some Account of His, Doings in Literature and in the Allied Crafts Dear Son, - In this poor gift there's fitness; For when into the world you came, You got - and let this leaf bear witness - A twice associated name. Our well-belov'd friend Bucke's prenomen We gave you - and the letters show it: Still, we'd an eye upon the omen That that same name described a poet. 'Tis naught but simple truth I'm telling - Two sponsors' names in one we found, With some slight difference in the spelling And none whatever in the sound. While yet a lad you loved to walk about The book-room mingling lore with chaff; And well you knew some tomes I talk about In this my biobibliograph. Later, the "midnight lamp" has seen us In that same book-room all alone; But since the Atlantic heaved between us Those Morris rows have grown and grown; And still with every teeming year That made the listening world his debtor I grew to hold the man more dear And ever loved the poet better. (Ah! Morris, it was well to know you - Whatever comes of it, it was well - Though dry the sprigs of bay I throw you, Right fain were I to be your Boswell!) So long, dear Boy! The ship's in port That scores the Atlantic east and west; Those rollers huge she'll make her sport, And bring you this at my behest.
