SUMMARY: News from Nowhere (1890) is the most famous work of one of the greatest British writers and thinkers, William Morris. It is a utopian picture of a future communist society, drawing on the work of Ruskin and Marx and written in response to what Morris saw as soulless and mechanical visions of socialism. Morris wrote this in his later years; he imagined a world in which capitalism has been abolished by a workers' revolution and nature and society have become beautiful habitations for humanity. 8vo. **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**.
