Уильям Моррис в XXI веке
William Morris in the 21st century

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with William Morris – one of the most prominent personalities of the 19th century whose work not only influenced his contemporaries but keep on inspiring new generations of writers, artists, researchers, etc. The versatility of talent and range of interests and activities in which this talent manifested itself is a pledge of Morris’ relevance today. Eg., his works and ideas are the source of inspiration for several projects by modern British painters (Adam Hogarth «Language cannot be dead», Bob and Roberta Smith «Art is Your Human Right», David Mabb «Announcer»). William Morris is well known to Russian scientists and designers but almost unknown to general public. However several events took place recently that made Morris «closer» to Russians (exhibitions «Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde» and «British Design: from William Morris to the digital Revolution» in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow and The International festival of landscape design «Imperial Gardens of Russia» with the winner-project «The Garden of William Morris» by Spets Park Design, three prose-romances by William Morris published in Russian translation for the first time).
