1996 CENTENARY EVENTS IN RUSSIA

Compiled by the William Morris Society (UK)

EXHIBITIONS

From March 1996 onwards
William Morris Exhibition
The Russian National Library in the former Leningrad was then known as the Saltykov Schchedrin Library, named after Mikhail Saltykov, a 19th century author who wrote bitter socialist realist novels under the pseudonym of Schchedrin. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Morris's birth the library organized in 1984 a learned conference on Morris and his work which attracted many Russian experts and was supported by articles in the art journals of the USSR. This 1996 exhibition is based on the Library's own holdings of Morris's works. Ray Watkinson and Frank Gray (University of Brighton) have contributed supplementary material in the form of photographs and copies of documents.
