E.P. Thompson, Romanticism, Utopianism, and Moralism : the Case of William Morris
Morris's independent derivation of communism out of the logic of the Romantic tradition may be assimilated to Marxism only in the course of a process of re-ordering within Marxism itself. 'Civilization' and 'barbarism' were terms which Morris always employed with ironic inversion, drawing in part upon the inheritance from Carlyle and Ruskin and in part upon the very deep commitment he had for certain pre-capitalist values and modes. Morris's youthful Romantic rebellion was not a rebellion of individual sensibility against "society" but a rebellion of value, of aspiration, against actuality. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
