Can William Guest, transported from 1890, come to terms with having to leave the England of his dreams?

William Morris's utopian vision of a future England which had left industrialisation behind was first published in 1890.

William Morris (1834 -1896) was an English designer, craftsman, poet, and early socialist. His decorative designs greatly influenced the rise of the Arts and Crafts movement in England and revolutionised Victorian taste.

Read by David Burke.
