He was an English designer, craftsman, poet, early socialist, whose designs for furniture, fabrics, stained glass, wallpaper, and other decorative arts generated the Arts and Crafts movement in England and revolutionized Victorian taste.
Morris joined Henry Mayers Hyndman's Democratic Federation and began tireless tours of industrial areas to spread the gospel of socialism. He was considerately treated by the authorities, even when leading a banned demonstration to London's Trafalgar Square on "Bloody Sunday."
On this occasion he marched with the playwright George Bernard Shaw at his side.
