William Morris & his Circle:a selective bibliography ofpublications, 1960 - 62by W. E. Fredeman

THIS bibliography of publications on William Morris and hiscircle, covering a three-year period, offers convincing evidencethat the stated aims of the William Morris Society are being ful­filled: 'to deepen understanding and stimulate a wider appreciationof Morris, his friends and their work'. A bibliography comparingpublications for the seven-year period since the Society hasflourished as an active organization (1955-62) with those of thesame period immediately previous to 1955 would, I feel certain,demonstrate how successful the Society has been in publicizingMorris and in stimulating a revival of interest in his multifariousactivities. Now that publication has been clearly established as avital part of the function of the William Morris Society, a con­tinuing interest in all aspects of Morris and his circle can beanticipated.

It is no doubt true that some (though certainly not the majority)of the writings in the following list constitute, as Mr John Purkisput the case in his letter in the first number of the]ournal, 'scrab­bling about among the foothills' without regard to the mountain.But in defence of so-called fragmentary studies by specialists, it isworth mentioning that revivals do not begin with vast, synthesizinganalyses. In order to see the whole man it is often essential to havean intimate familiarity with the separate components - frequentlyeven with the trivialities - of his wholeness. This principle is no­where better exemplified than by so complex a figure as WilliamMorris, who defies all taxonomical attempts to give him a con­venient label. If it is a truism that "One should not lose sight of theforest while examining the trees, the corollary that forests are infact composed of trees is no less worth remembering.

The following bibliography includes publications appeanng

between I January 1960 and 3I December 1962. No attempt atabsolute completeness is suggested, although an effort has beenmade to incorporate all items of major importance. In general,ephemeral publications, such as the extensive number of press­notices of the Morris and Company Centenary Exhibition, havebeen relegated either to annotations or cross-references (in thisinstance to the handlist of such notices circulated by the HonorarySecretary). Publications in countries other than England andAmerica have been included when information was available, anda systematic check for such materials has been made, withoutguarantee, however, that those items included represent even areasonable proportion of materials actually published. The organi­zation and arrangement of the bibliography are self-evident.
