Dawn Halpern lewis's Reviews > News from Nowhere and Other Writings

An idealistic view of a future in a Utopian society. It was refreshing to read about William Morris' political ideas, which were very radical both for his times and would still be considered such today. There is something touching about his naivete. But sadly tragic. It reminded me of dialogues of Plato at times and often I wished that the narrator could allow us to believe he never had to accept the reality and lived the Utopian dream instead. I would have liked to have known such a world through his eyes. This, for me, had made William Morris' visual art even more beautiful; I like it even more now.
