News from Nowhere(1890) is the best-known prose work of William Morris and the only significant English utopia to be written since Thomas More's. Set over a century after a revolutionary upheaval in 1952, these "Chapters from a Utopian Romance" recount his journey across London and up the Thames to Kelmscott Manor, Morris's own country house in Oxfordshire. The novel describes the encounter between a visitor from the nineteenth century, William Guest, and a decentralized and humane socialist future.
Morris's rejection of state socialism and his ambition to transform the relationship between humankind and the natural world, give News from Nowhere a particular resonance for modern Drawing on the work of John Ruskin and Karl Marx, Morris's book is not only an evocative statement of his egalitarian convictions but also a distinctive contribution to the utopian tradition.
