The Collected Letters of William Morris, Volume III

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 challenging marriage, and his deep commitment 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 artistic endeavors and personal connections, reflecting his passion for medieval manuscripts and early printed books, and his engagement with early modernism.
