William Morris, utopian or visionary?

Mad'in Europe presents a key figure of the 19th century who still inspires today's crafts by his talent and values !

It is unfortunate that his vision for beautifully hand crafted things turned out to be too expensive for ordinary people. We have to settle for mass produced replicas. But I do fully admire his vision & wish it could have been.

Ok, it's confirmed: William Morris is one of my heroes now - along with Kropotkin, Zapata, Sandino, Artigas and Bolivar, Thomas Paine, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mandela, Mujica, Skakespeare, Dickens, Blake, Spinoza, Hildegard of Bingen, St. Francis, Emerson, Whitman, Woodcock, Bookchin and Thoreau.

News from Nowhere must be one of the most beautiful books ever written, albeit mistaken if he ever thought his vision could be actuated. Sadly, Morris was deceived by that old charlatan, Marx.
