Background
The William Morris Society of Canada exists to foster knowledge about the life and work of William Morris (1834-1896), the 19th-century English artist, writer, and craftsman. The Society attracts a mixed group of people interested in Morris as a visionary socialist, designer, poet, printer, ecologist, and preservationist. Morris's prodigious energy and enthusiasm are reflected in his numerous activities; he founded the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877, organized the Kelmscott Press in 1891, and ran a successful and extraordinarily influential design firm in London from 1861 until his death.
