Demi-Monde: the Half-World Of William Morris

Synopsis:
Demi Monde tells the tale of Arts and crafts movement designer William Morris and how politics slowly acts as a distraction to his patterns, painting and poetry and ultimately ends up consuming him. apart from being a master craftsman, Morris has a desire to run his business as an organisation in which everyone has an input. He also wants people to realise that art can be beautiful and useful, a notion alien to his colleagues and friends who believe that art can only be one or the other. Morris despises the capitalist system, which in itself is somewhat of a contradiction as his business benefits from and contributes directly to the system he so despises. Having his own strong views on how society should be run, Morris sets up a splinter socialist party, the Socialist League, but anarchists fester within and soon they outweigh the original party members. This wasn't what Morris had in mind. aside from problem politics, Morris' somewhat sorry life is also depicted. a workaholic, he is oblivious at first to his wife's affair with Rossetti, who flirts with the 'little water lillie' whilst Morris is busy with a woodcut. Morris doesn't seem to mind greatly, coming over as a man who struggles with people and relationships. early in the piece he states he can't do human forms, but can do design and poetry. This becomes a metaphor for his life.
