Overview

""A Selection From the Poems of William Morris"" presents a curated anthology of the verse produced by one of the most versatile and influential creative minds of the 19th century. William Morris, a polymath who left an indelible mark on art, design, and social thought, was equally renowned for his lyrical and narrative poetry.
