Final Fantasy Versus 13 Wallpaper Biography
William Morris was born on March 24, 1834, at Elm House, Walthamstow. Walthamstow in those days was a village above the Lea Valley, on the edge of Epping forest, but comfortably close to Lonmdon. He was the third of nine children (and the oldest son) of William and Emma Shelton Morris. His famile was well-to-do, and during Morris's youth became increasingly wealthy: at twenty-one, Morris (quite ironically, given his later political views) came into an annual income of £900, quite a tidy sum in those days.
Morris's childhood was a happy one. He was spoiled by everyone, and was rather tempermental, as in fact he would be for the rest of his life: he would throw his dinner out of the window if he did not approve of the manner in which it had been prepared. He was smitten at a very early age, as many young gentlemen of his day were, with a great passion for all things mediaeval: at age four he began to read Sir Walter Scott's Waverley Novels, and he had finished them all by the time he was nine. His doting father presented him with a pony and a miniature suit of armor, and, in the character of a diminutive knight-errant, he went off on long quests into the depths of Epping Forest. He was rather a solitary child, close only to his sister Emma, and even in childhood was possessed of a romantic attachment to forests and gardens and flowers and birds which, with his interest in mediaevalism, would recur in his art, his poetry, and his fiction for the rest of his life.
Morris's family belonged to the Evangelical branch of the Church of England — they practiced what he would later refer to as a "rich establishmentarian Puritanism," which, even as a boy, he found distasteful.
In 1847, Morris's father died, and the following year, aged fourteen, he entered Marlborough College, where he did not learn a great deal, but where he came under the influence of the High Church Oxford Movement which had been inaugurated during the 1830's by Newman, Keble, and Pusey. After a riot occured at Marlborough in 1851 (it was rather a boisterous place), Morris left the school to continue his education at home.
In 1853 Morris, who had vague notions of becoming a High-Church Anglican clergyman, entered Exeter College at Oxford, where he met Edward Burne-Jones, who was engaged in similar pursuits: Burne-Jones, who would become one of the greatest of the Pre-Raphaelite artists, would remain Morris's closest friend for the remainder of his life. At Oxford Morris became a member of an undergraduate aesthetic circle which was enamored of an idealized Middle Ages and heavily under the influence of Tennyson's Arthurian poems, Carlyle's Past and Present, and Ruskin's The Stones of Venice. Again, these years were formative: Morris, already possessed by the feeling that he had been "born out of his due time," fell in love with mediaeval art and architecture and with the mediaeval ideals of chivalry and of the communal life. There too Morris began to write poetry which was heavily indebted to the work of Tennyson, Keats, Browning, and, most of all, his beloved Chaucer.
In 1855 Morris came of age and inherited the first installment of his annual income of £900. With Burne-Jones, he made a walking tour of the great Gothic cathedrals of Northern France. Both of them were overcome and decided to abandon their clerical studies in order to become artists, and Morris left Oxford at the end of the year.
In 1856 Morris began work (much to his family's chagrin) in the architectural office of G. E. Street, where he met Philip Webb, who would become another close friend and associate. He took rooms with Burne-Jones, already embarked on his career as an artist, in Red Lion Square, and before the end of the year Morris himself abandoned architecture for art. Burne-Jones had come under the influence of the older Dante Gabriel Rossetti, already the leader of the fledgling Pre-Raphaelite movement. Rossetti did not think very highly of Morris's work, but another youthful phenomenon, Charles Algernon Swinburne, himself an undergraduate at the time, encouraged Morris to consider having his poems published.
