What is Morris's life like?

Morris was born in a wealthy family in 1834. From 65438 to 0853, he entered Oxford University and joined the "pre-Raphael Brotherhood" organized by Rossetti under the influence of art critic john ruskin and painter Dante Rolti. 1858 published his 1 collection of poems "Guinevere's Self-Defense and Other Poems", in which the themes of short and medium poems were mainly taken from Mallory's legendary story about King Arthur and the chronicle of Flasal in medieval France, describing the cruelty and cruelty of rulers in medieval western Europe and heroes who resisted this tyranny and fraud.

186 1 year, Morris opened an indoor research company, and the long poem "Jason's Life and Death" was published in 1867. It is based on the legends of Jason and Medea in ancient Greece. In the poem, the author calls himself a disciple of Joe and publishes poems 1868 to 1870. Its creative technique imitates Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. It tells the story of a group of soldiers in medieval northern Europe who discovered a paradise on earth where Greek immigrants lived in the ocean. When the host and guests get together, they like telling stories, so they tell 24 stories from ancient Greece and medieval northern Europe. The long poem Sigur of Wolson (1876) tells the tragedy of Sigur, a hero who is often used as a theme in Icelandic poetry in the Middle Ages. In the German ancient poem Song of Nibelungen, Sigrid is Siegfried. The whole poem expresses characters and stories in long sentences with six syllables.

1883, Morris joined the socialist organization "Democratic Association" and later changed its name to "Social Democratic Association". 1885 joined the socialist union and served as the editor-in-chief of its official publication, Gong X Welfare, until 1890. 1890, he broke away from the socialist alliance and organized a smaller "hammersmith Socialist Society". 1890 He founded Kelmscott Printing Factory.

Morris's later works include a collection of poems, Poems of Socialists, most of which call on workers to oppose slavery and exploitation, and at the same time express their yearning for a better socialist and capitalist society in the future. The long poem "Pursuing a Bright Future" (1885 ~ 1886) is autobiographical, describing the life of the protagonist in his childhood and youth and his later experience of joining the Paris Commune. The story about his belief in society and his participation in the barricade of the Paris Commune is very touching.

Morris's essay Dreaming of John Paul (1888) describes how a socialist in the 9th century dreamed of John Paul, the leader of the British peasant uprising in 138 1 and what they talked about. I don't know where it came from (189 1) describes his dream of visiting all the places in Britain that have realized capitalism in the 20th century, which shows the author's yearning for the ideal capitalist society.
