William Morris (1834 – 1896) was an
English textile
designer, poet, novelist, translator,
and socialist activist. Associated with the British Arts
and Crafts Movement, he was a major contributor to the revival of
traditional British textile arts and methods of
production. His literary contributions helped to establish the
modern fantasy genre, while he played a significant role
in propagating the early socialist movement in
Britain.
