William Morris: An Annotated Bibliography

Transcription

1 William Morris: An Annotated Bibliography David and Sheila Latham This bibliography is the tenth instalment of a biennial feature of The Journal. Some items inadvertently omitted ftom the bibliogtaphy ate added hete. Though we exclude book reviews, we include reviews of exhibitions as a record of temporal events. We give each original entry a brief annotation meant to describe its subject rather than evaluate its argument. We have arranged the bibliography into six subject categories appended by an author index. The entries in Parr I include new editions, reprims, and translations of Morris's own publications, and are arranged alphabetically by title. The entries in Parr II include books, pamphlets, articles, exhibition catalogues, and dissertations on Morris, arranged alphabetically by author within each of the following five categories: General Literature Decorative Arts Book Design Politics The General category includes biographical surveys and miscellaneous details as well as studies that bridge two or more subjects. The Author Index provides an alphabetical order as an alternative means for searching through the 121 items of the bibliography. Though we still believe that each of Morris's interests is best understood in the context of his whole life's work, we hope that the subject categories and author index will save the impatient specialist from having to browse through descriptions of woven tapestries in search of critiques of "The Haystack in the Floods." With the rising costs of inter-library loan services and personal travel, we would appreciate receiving copies of publications. They can be sent to us at 42 Belmont Street, Toronto, Ontario M5R IP8, or by attachment to <di6tham@yotku.ca>.

In News from Nowhere Morris incorporates Peter Kropotkin's theories of village economics and anticipates Ebenezer Howard's interest in voluntarism and communing with nature in Garden Cities of To-morrow, inspiring us with ecological and socialist alternatives to our modern megalopolises "An Aesthetic Ecocommunist: Morris the Red and Morris the Green." In Wi/liam Morris: Centenary Essays. Ed. Peter Faulkner and Peter Preston. Exeter: U of Exeter P, 1999, Morris grounded his concerns for ecological preservation in historically informed views of nature and then promoted them to the widest audience by developing a "melodic and conversational 'rhetoric of fellowship'" consistent with his concepts of egalitarian engagement and human kinship Fasanella, R.

17 the literary bohemia of Victorian Toronto with more similarities to Morris than any other Canadian, though the argument and imagery of the Politics of!.abor reveals his preference for social evolution rather than revolution Macdonald, Bradley J.
