William Morris: a Vindication
註釋The revolutionary Socialist fighter, William Morris, artist, craftsman and poet; born in London on 24th March, 1834, of a well-to-do bourgeois family; went through the routine of his class at public school and Oxford University. He wrote poems, became a master craftsman in one kind after another, from furniture designing to printing; became a manufacturer; took up the secretaryship of an anti-war association in the 'seventies; in 1883 joined a Socialist organisation, agitated and organised; edited the Commonweal, to which Frederick Engels and Eleanor Marx contributed; and, worn out by a life of intense and ceaseless activity over many fields, died at the age of sixty-two, having remained to the end a revolutionary Socialist.
