About this book
William Morris gave five lectures on art, and they were printed together in 1882. Their titles include The Lesser Arts, The Beauty of Life and The Prospects of Architecture in Civilisation.
Morris, the English designer, poet and socialist, argues that the decorative arts, from house-building and carpentry to pottery, glass and weaving, should not be cut off from architecture, sculpture and painting. When they part, he says, the lesser trades turn trivial and the great arts become toys for an idle few. This pocket edition is from 1919.
