Synopsis
This book marks the centenary of the publication of William Morris most celebrated work, the utopian novel News from Nowhere. Originally received as backward-looking and hopelessly romantic, News from Nowhere was in reality ahead of its time, articulating a coherent vision of how we live and how we might live that has much in common with the views of idealists and green thinkers of the present day. William Morris &?News from Nowhere:?a Vision for Our Time is a re-evaluation of Morriss ideas on such diverse subjects as love, work, revolution, architecture, economics and ecology. In the light of the breakdown of the old order in Eastern Europe and the crisis of capitalism in the West, together with the greening of societies throughout Europe and elsewhere, Morris has much to contribute to the search for new ways of thinking and action, for new social and political structures, and for new attitudes to Nature and ourselves. The chapters have been contributed by Christopher Hampton, John Crump, Jan Marsh, Ray Watkinson, Colin Ward, Mark Pearson, Adam Buick, Stephen Coleman and Paddy OSullivan.

Synopsis
A collection of essays, edited by William Morris Society members Stephen Coleman and Paddy O'Sullivan, which discuss the relevance today of William Morris' ideas, as set out in "News from Nowhere". Received in its time as backward-looking and hopelessly romantic, Morris' utopian vision is in fact more relevant today than ever before. With the breakdown of the old order in Eastern Europe, and the crisis of capitalism in the West, together with the "greening" of societies in both parts of Europe and elsewhere, the search is on for new ways of thinking and of action, for new social and political structures, and for new attitudes to Nature and ourselves. In "News from Nowhere" we find one man's coherent vision of "how we live and how we might live", which is as fresh and as relevant today as it was a hundred years ago.
