A collection of essays together with a catalogue of works exhibited at the Whitworth Art Gallery, 28 September - 8 December 1984. The book considers the tradition in which Morris worked and the development of his attitude towards the medieval past. Art plays a central role, as it did in all Morris's thinking, since, even in his socialist years, it was always the history of art rather than political or economic history that shaped for him the pattern of history, and his vision for the future.
