A mighty work of visionary utopian socialism. A classic, a legend, and a vision all intertwined. A poet, essayist, critic, teacher, writer, his credit—that all things useful must be beautiful—revolutionized the minor arts and awakened "the man in the street" to a new sense of beauty. Much more than a painter, architect, designer of furniture, textiles, book-illuminations, wallpaper, and type—though he was all that too.
