A Dream of John Ball; and, A King's Lesson
Sinopse
A Dream of John Ball; and, A King’s Lesson by William Morris is a novel published in 1888. It centers on a time-traveller who encounters the medieval rebel priest John Ball during the Great Revolt of 1381. Through this meeting, the book juxtaposes the ethical outlook of the medieval world with that of later times, using their contrast to reflect on why Ball’s hopes for an egalitarian society did not come to fruition. Rather than following conventional portrayals of the period, Morris presents the Middle Ages as a time marked by prosperity and happiness.
