ABSTRACT
Method of this project: literary montage. I needn’t say anything. Merely show. I shall purloin no valuables, appropriate no ingenious formulations. But the rags, the refuse—these I will not inventory but allow, in the only way possible, to come into their own: by making use of them. (Benjamin, Arcades, 460).
The sections are arranged as follows: 1 Gardens; 2 The Red House; 3 The William Morris Gallery; 4 Kelmscott House; 5 Kelmscott Manor; 6 Morris & Co.; 7 The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings; 8 The Bauhaus; 9 William Morris and the atom; 10 Morris Kitsch; 11 Jewel Point; 12 Big Red Propeller; 13 Announcer; 14 We sit starving amidst our gold; 15 Love is Enough: William Morris & Andy Warhol; 16 The World Stage: Jamaica; 17 ‘I do not want art for a few any more than I want education for a few.’
