윌리엄 모리스의 다른 문명 찾기 : (『유토피아에서 온 소식』에 나타난 꿈 혹은 비전) (Dream or Vision in News from Nowhere) = William Morris's Other Civilization

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The main reason that News from Nowhere is regarded as one of the most important English utopian novels written in the nineteenth-century is that it seriously searches for other civilization that the nineteenth-century which can be summarized in terms of capitalism and class division. Though with many optimistic views the nineteenth-century capitalism is easily associated with commercialism. toil of labourers, class struggle, appearance of machinery: in short, the misery and vulgarization of life in general.
William Morris, a fundamental socialist as well as a poet, an artist, and a designer of various applied arts. tried to draw a picture of utopian society which could be attained when communist society is fully realized. He believed that happiness of mankind could be obtained from equality and freedom possible only in a communist society: and then Nature would be celebrated and pleasure of work and life would be fully reserved for man.
This paper attempts to examine what kind of civilization. William Morris sought for our future and also to scrutinize his backward looking at the mediaevalism whose characteristics he believed has genuine concept of work and art of life. Although his elaboration of utopian ideas are often criticized as an anachronism and dream-like impossible world, it would not be altogether impossible, if we are deeply concerned about the shape of the forthcoming 21st-century civilization and are looking for some alternative to find some vision from the dream of News from Nowhere.
