| Summary |
This text is the first to examine the influence of William Morris on the artistic, literary, and ideological styles of Tennyson, Swinburne, Gissing, and Yeats. This book focuses on a selection of Morris? writings and situates them in the fields of art, culture, and society. Through Roland Barthes? approach to interpreting text, Sasso demonstrates that Tennyson, Swinburne, Gissing, and Yeats were all readers of Morris? work which in turn stimulated their own writing and infused them with desire. Sasso?s goal is to show how Morris? influence caused his contemporaries to emulate his style of writ. |
