Swinburne 368 ∕ VICTORIAN POETRY Hatherley and notes and an editor’s introduction by Owen Holland, author of William Morris’s Utopianism (2017). The collaboration works well, as Hatherley provides an overview of Morris’s relevance for con temporary socialist efforts and Holland offers a succinct po liti cal biography of Morris and clear account of the distinctiveness of his demo cratic, anti- imperialist vision within the con- text of his time. Many of the volume’s se lections are of lesser- known yet signifi - cant essays, such as the 1884 “The Housing of the Poor,” the 1885 “Ireland and Italy: A Warning,” and the eloquent 1887 “Why We Celebrate the Commune of Paris.” Holland’s annotations are admirably detailed, so that even those who are familiar with Morris’s essays from other editions, such as the Collected Works, will want to own this compact and valuable volume. In conclusion, 2020 brought many skillful and original contributions to an understanding of Pre- Raphaelite literary art in general, as well as of specic fi works by D. G.
