Description

A Dream of John Ball; and, A King’s Lesson is a thought-provoking novella by William Morris, weaving together themes of social justice and the struggle for egalitarian ideals. Set against the backdrop of the Peasants' Revolt in 14th-century England, the narrative follows the character of John Ball, a priest and revolutionary, who dreams of a time when class distinctions vanish and everyone can share in the fruits of their labor. Through a dreamlike dialogue with historical figures, Morris explores the inequities of his time, drawing connections between the past and the socio-political issues of the Victorian era. The work reflects Morris's own socialist beliefs, emphasizing the importance of community and collective ownership.Morris's lyrical prose, combined with rich historical detail, makes this novella not only an engaging tale but also a salient critique of societal norms. It remains a relevant and stirring commentary on the quest for dignity and justice in the face of oppression.
