Más información sobre el libro

The correspondence of William Morris reveals his multifaceted influence as a poet, craftsman, and designer, particularly during the 1890s. The letters explore his complex political and artistic views, his troubled marriage, and his deep devotion to his daughters, especially Jenny, who suffered from epilepsy. Central to these themes is the Kelmscott Press, which served as the hub for Morris's aesthetic pursuits and personal connections, highlighting its significance in the development of early modernism and his collection of medieval manuscripts and early printed books.
