How We Might Live: At Home with Jane and William Morris
by Dr Suzanne Fagence Cooper
William Morris wrote: ‘The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life’. This lecture looks at the houses and works of art that Jane and William Morris made together, from Red House to Kelmscott Manor. Through newly-revealed letters and diaries, furniture, wall-hangings and beautiful books, we can explore the pioneering life they embraced with their artist friends.
