Description

William Morris's influential essay collection explores the relationship between work and its impact on individuals and society. In "Useful Work V. Useless Toil", Morris argues that all labour should be a source of pride and satisfaction, regardless of social class.

Morris, a visionary English Socialist and pioneer of the Arts and Crafts movement, believed in the importance of beautiful surroundings for everyone. This collection of his writings showcases his radical ideas on work, aesthetics, and politics.

Penguin brings you this essential work by one of the great thinkers of the late 19th century, whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of social justice and human endeavour.
