This early work by William Morris was originally published in 1899 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. William Morris was born in London, England in 1834. Arguably best known as a textile designer, he founded a design partnership which deeply influenced the decoration of churches and homes during the early 20th century. However, he is also considered an important Romantic writer and pioneer of the modern fantasy genre, being a direct influence on authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien. As well as fiction, Morris penned poetry and essays. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

El saber del pasado persiste en nosotros, 'a pesar de los estragos del tiempo'. Esta cita de William Morris da título a esta selección de escritos del gran renacentista británico, padre del movimiento 'Arts & Crafts', compuesta en dos bloques:SOBRE LIBROS: Comentarios sobre los libros iluminados de la Edad Media. La imprenta con Emery Walker. El libro ideal; ySOBRE ARTES POPULARES: Las artes menores. Improvisación. El arte de la gente. Campo y ciudad. Cómo podría ser una fábrica (I). Cómo podría ser el trabajo en una fábrica (II y III). Siendo escritos 'técnicos' sobre las más variadas disciplinas, dan cuenta del amor de Morris por los libros y su elaboración. Aquí está el Morris más batallador e ideológico, en un sentido cultural de la palabra.
