Standing on the cusp of a new wave of scholarship, this book presents an exciting convergence of views among internationally renowned scholars in the field of Victorian Studies. Balancing variety and unity, this collection reappraises Morris?s concept of social change and asks how we might think beyond the institutions and epistemologies of our time. Though the political significance of Morris?s creative work is often underestimated, the essays in this volume showcase its subtlety and sophistication. Each chapter discerns the power and novelty of Morris?s radicalism within his aesthetic creations and demonstrates how his most compelling political ideas bloomed wherever his dexterous hand had been at work - in wallpapers, floral borders, medievalist romances, and verse. Morris's theory and practice of aesthetic creation can be seen as the crucible of his entire philosophy of social change. In situating Morris's radicalism at the heart of his creative legacy, and in reanimating debates about nineteenth-century art and politics, To Build a Shadowy Isle of Bliss challenges and expands received notions of the radical, the aesthetic, and the political. 606 $aRadicalism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial change$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aRadicalism$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 676 $a303.48/4094109034 700 $aWeinroth$b Michelle, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01472089 702 $aBrowne$b Paul Leduc 702 $aWeinroth$b Michelle 702 $aBennett Phillippa 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787206403321 996 $aTo build a shadowy isle of bliss$93684711 997 $aUNINA
