William Morris and the Middle Ages: A Collection of Essays Together with a Catalogue of Works Exhibited at the Whitworth Art Gallery September 28 to December 8 1984
by:

Hardcover. UK, Manchester University Press, 1st, 1984, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 225 pages. B&w illustrations plus 8 color plates. 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. Uncommon in hardcover. Bookplate on inside front cover, small stamp on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.
