A smart sixth impression of this classic work from William Morris. Sixth impression, November 1899. Originally published March 1891. Scarce edition. A classic work combining soft science fiction with utopian socialism. The work follows William Guest after he falls asleep on return from a meeting of the Socialist League and awakes to find himself in a future society based on common ownership and democratic control of the means of production. Written by William Morris, a British textile designer, poet, artist, writer, architectural conservationist, printer, translator, and socialist activist associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain. Publisher's catalogue to the rear. From the library of Doctor Malcolm Higgs, an important architectural historian who worked as an assistant architect to Stirling & Gowan, working on their particularly renowned Leicester University Engineering Laboratory. During his long career he taught at the University of Edinburgh School of Architecture, Canterbury School of Architecture, and University of Nottingham. Later in his life he was the Vice-President and Honorary Librarian of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and contributed and edited the "Journal of Architecture".
