News from Nowhere (1890), William Morris' most famous work, is a utopian
picture of a future communist society, depicting a world in which
capitalism has been abolished by a workers' revolution, and in which
nature and society have become beautiful habitations for humanity. In an
era that has seen the collapse of state socialism, Morris' damning
critique of this conception, and his positing of a powerful alternative,
are compelling reasons for paying attention to this classic of British
socialism.
