"A Dream of John Ball (1888) is a novel by English author William Morris about the Great Revolt of 1381, conventionally called ""the Peasants' Revolt"". It features the rebel priest John Ball, who was accused of being a Lollard. He is famed for his question ""When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?"".Like the novel's close contemporary - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) by Mark Twain - it describes a dream and time travel encounter between the medieval and modern worlds. However unlike Twain's vision of a violent and chaotic ""Dark Age"", Morris describes a positive image of the Middle Ages, seeing it as a golden, if brief, a period when peasants were prosperous and happy and guilds protected workers from exploitation."

From a quantitative point of view the achievement of the Kelmscott Press may not seem impressive: between 1891 and 1898 it produced fifty-two books and a set of specimen pages for another book. Yet each was remarkably beautiful. Designed by William Morris, printed on hand-presses, ornamented with initials and borders by Morris, and illustrated often by Edward Burne-Jones, these few Kelmscott Press books are famous everywhere today. Why they have so profoundly affected twentieth-century theories of book design and what cultural significance the founding of the Kelmscott Press played are some of the questions the author considers.

This 1987 book investigates the dismissal of William Morris's romances as self-indulgent fantasy, looking at the ways in which our sense of the 'escapism' of Morris's fairy-tale writing can be modified or expanded when seen in relation to the development of his imagination in other spheres, both political and creative.
