Summary:

"The Chronology is an essential resource for all those interested in the life and times of William Morris and his circle. Based on the letters, diaries and memoirs of Morris and his friends, the Chronology contains over two thousand entries which provide the most comprehensive account of Morris's day-to-day activities ever published. Amongst these entries are full details of his work in the arts and crafts, literature, politics and book-design." "In addition the book contains numerous appreciations, stories and anecdotes recounted by friends like Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rosseti and George Bernard Shaw. These provide a unique insight into the life, character and times of one of the greatest figures of the nineteenth century."--Jacket.
