Résumé:
‘'Simplicity of life is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement?: a sanded floor and whitewashed walls, and the green trees?; or a grimy palace amid the smoke with a regiment of housemaids always working ; which, think you, is the most refined?’' William Morris (1834–1896) was a poet, designer and political activist. He campaigned against the human and environmental costs of industrial mass production and viewed the arts as central to creating a better society. In these essays, Morris develops his philosophy of simplicity, equality and care for nature in relation to architecture, displaying the integrated vision of culture which has led to Morris being viewed as a forerunner to both the Bauhaus and today’s environmental movements.

Résumé:
Plus célèbre pour ses motifs floraux que pour son engagement politique, William Morris (1834-1896) consacre pourtant une partie de sa vie à dénoncer les contradictions internes du capitalisme. À travers ses discours, ses utopies politiques ou sa pratique artistique, il alerte sur les effets destructeurs de l’industrialisme, tant écologiques que sociaux. Convaincu que la beauté donne sens à l’existence, il appelle à la convivialité, à l’épanouissement personnel et à l’émancipation collective, grâce à la réappropriation des activités créatrices. Florent Bussy nous montre que sa vision d’une société fondée sur le partage plutôt que la concurrence, l’égalité plutôt que la domination, la beauté plutôt que l’artifice, la qualité plutôt que le gaspillage est une source d’inspiration inestimable pour tout projet de transformation sociale radicale.
