Moving through theoretical, historical, and exegetical analyses of propagandist texts, Reclaiming William Morris brings out the aesthetic underpinnings of nationalist ideology. Combining the philosophical substance of Karl Marx, Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, and Ernst Bloch with Kantian aesthetics, Weinroth constructs a conceptual apparatus that explains the impassioned yet decidedly marginal rhetoric of early twentieth-century English communism.
"An interesting contribution to cultural studies. Weinroth's close readings of various propaganda are particularly effective. She demonstrates most convincingly that dissenting propaganda cannot easily disentangle itself from the fetishistic ideologies of the bourgeois society it seeks to contest." Evelyn Cobley, Department of English, University of Victoria.
