| Summary | "Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 05" by Elbert Hubbard is a collection of biographical essays written during the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the lives of notable English authors, detailing their personal backgrounds, literary contributions, and philosophical insights. Through these explorations, it seeks to illuminate the influence and significance of each author in the context of English literature and culture. The opening of the text introduces William Morris, detailing his upbringing in a comfortable home, where he was instilled with practical skills rather than artistic aspirations. It describes his education, his friendships formed at Oxford, particularly with Edward Burne-Jones, and their joint appreciation for art and literature. The narrative sketches Morris's journey from a budding poet to a significant figure in both the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the decorative arts movement, emphasizing his advocacy for craftsmanship and quality in art against an industrial backdrop. The opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Morris's ideals, his relationships, and his enduring impact on both poetry and art. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
