Description
Founded in 1971, the William Morris Society in the United States maintains close ties with our UK counterpart. We sponsor a semi-annual Newsletter, one or more annual fellowships, academic sessions at the Modern Language Association Annual Convention and elsewhere, and, when possible, social gatherings, lectures and trips to museums, exhibitions, and other sites of Morris, Pre-Raphaelite, Victorian, and Arts and Crafts interest. Members of the William Morris Society in the United States automatically become members of the William Morris Society UK and receive the UK Newsletter and biannual Journal of William Morris Studies. In 2010, the Society helped organize the major conference, "Useful & Beautiful: The Transatlantic Arts of William Morris and the Pre-Raphaelites," held at the University of Delaware, Winterthur Museum & Country Estate, and Delaware Art Museum.
