William Morris inspires us to widen our horizons. Once celebrated as a poet, he is now best known for his wallpaper and textile designs. But he was also a pioneering manufacturer who invested in the wellbeing of his workforce; a traveller in the wildernesses of Iceland; a translator; an activist; an inspirational lecturer; an open-hearted husband, father and friend.

Morris's multiplicity makes him, at times, hard to grasp. Yet his concerns still resonate. We can still look to him as we grapple with the implications of chatbots, or urban sprawl, or micro-plastics. He helps us reframe our fears. He shows us alternative solutions on a human scale. He encourages us toward a more fruitful life. Morris gives us hope. Provocative and enlightening, A Crafted Life illuminates Morris' ways of thinking and offers practical wisdom for cultivating meaning, beauty and authenticity in our own lives today.©2027 Suzanne Fagence Cooper (P)2027 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
