Resumo
Esta pesquisa visa ser o levantamento da vida pessoal, em especial da infância e primeiros anos escolares, do designer e escritor William Morris. Esses primeiros anos de vida são essenciais para compreender algumas das principais referências que Morris utiliza em seus trabalhos artísticos, como seus móveis, papéis de parede e seus livros escritos. A pesquisa foi elaborada a partir de um levantamento bibliográfico, em especial, as biografias de William Morris, escritas sob perspectivas muito distintas entre si. Entre essas biografias estão The Life of William Morris vol. 1 e 2 (1899), de J. W. Mackail, e William Morris: A Life for Our Time (1994), de Fiona MacCarthy, e o livro William Morris: Romantic to Revolutionary (1955), de E. P. Thompson. A pesquisa também visa introduzir esse renomado nome do design e da luta socialista para dentro do campo nacional da história da arte, visto que importantes debates, pesquisas, além de exposições sobre a figura de William Morris continuam a ter grande relevância internacional e constante produção em diversas áreas de estudo das artes e história da arte, além de outros campos que permeiam-o.
