The work examines Morris’s representations of violence in relation to the wider cultural preoccupations and political movements with which they intersect, including medievalism, Teutonism, and the visionary, fractured socialism of the ‘fin de siècle’.Anthem Nineteenth-Century SeriesWilliam Morris & the Uses of Violence, 1856-1890Violence in literatureViolence in literature.821/.8Hanson Ingrid1056542UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910462371803321William Morris and the uses of violence, 1856-18902490988UNINA
