The \"Nowhere\" of \u003cb\u003eNews from Nowhere\u003c\/b\u003e (1890) is England in 2102, an ideal pastoral society born out of revolution. It is as compelling a dream of the future as the nightmares of \u003cb\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eNineteen Eighty-Four\u003c\/b\u003e. Exhilaratingly, it reminds us that nothing is inevitable about the way we live—now or in 1890.Introduction\u003cbr\u003eChronology\u003cbr\u003eBibliographical Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRomance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Story of the Unknown Church\u003cbr\u003eA King's Lesson\u003cbr\u003eTwo Extracts from \u003ci\u003eA Dream of John Ball\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNews from Nowhere\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLectures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lesser Arts\u003cbr\u003eSome Hints on Pattern-designing\u003cbr\u003eUseful Work versus Useless Toil\u003cbr\u003eThe Hopes of Civilization\u003cbr\u003eGothic Architecture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOccasional Prose\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Looking Backward\": a review of \u003ci\u003eLooking Backward\u003c\/i\u003e by Edward Bellamy\u003cbr\u003eUnder an Elm-tree; or, Thoughts in the Countryside\u003cbr\u003ePreface to \u003ci\u003eThe Nature of Gothic\u003c\/i\u003e by John Ruskin\u003cbr\u003eForeword to \u003ci\u003eUtopia\u003c\/i\u003e by Sir Thomas More\u003cbr\u003eHow I Became a Socialist\u003cbr\u003eA Note by William Morris on His Aims in Founding the Kelmscott Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLetters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[The Eastern Question]: letter to the \u003ci\u003eDaily News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Anti-Scrape]: letter to the \u003ci\u003eAthenaeum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[St. Mark's, Venice]: letter to the \u003ci\u003eDaily News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotesWilliam Morris was a dreamer with a genius for turning dreams into reality. Self-taught in thirteen different crafts, some of them ancient ones that had died out, he became the greatest European pattern-designer since the Middle Ages. He was, besides, a campaigning socialist and a pioneering environmentalist, a lyric poet and a forceful journalist, a storyteller and a maker of fine books.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301375332581,"sku":"NP9780140433302","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780140433302.jpg?v=1767733683","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/news-from-nowhere-and-other-writings-isbn-9780140433302","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
