Signs Of Change

Signs of Change is a book written by Morris, William, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 19th century. The book is a collection of essays that were originally published in a socialist journal called Commonweal. The essays cover a range of topics, from the role of art in society to the need for social and political change. Morris argues that art should not be seen as a luxury for the wealthy, but rather as a means of expressing the values and aspirations of the working class. He also advocates for a more equitable distribution of wealth and power, and calls for a society based on cooperation rather than competition. Throughout the book, Morris uses his own experiences as a designer and craftsman to illustrate his arguments. Signs of Change is a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to inspire readers today.In considering the Aims of Art, that is, why men toilsomely cherish and practise Art, I find myself compelled to generalize from the only specimen of humanity of which I know anything; to wit, myself. Now, when I think of what it is that I desire, I find that I can give it no other name than happiness. I want to be happy while I live; for as for death, I find that, never having experienced it, I have no conception of what it means.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
