Synopsis
For seven years Professor Roderick Marshall and his wife lived at Kelmscott Manor, William Morris's summer home on the Thames. Here, surrounded by the artist's workmanship and writing, as well as many books about him, Marshall wrote this work, which brings together his insights into oriental thought and his concern with the development of Morris's attitude toward his own life. Marshall argues that Morris's life was moving in the direction of the integration of his personality, which Jung symbolized by the figure of the mandala and which, when it occurred among Jung's patients, signified that at last they were whole human beings. The works which Morris wrote near the end of his life - the so-called romances - gather up the wisdom toward which he had been moving during all his 62 years.
