Autor

William Frend De Morgan (1839–1917) was an eminent English potter, tile designer, and novelist, inclusive of noteworthy contributions to the Arts and Crafts Movement. With a considerable repute in the decorative arts, particularly ceramic art, De Morgan's later life unveiled his prowess as a writer. His literary journey began in earnest after the age of 65, marking a significant transition from ceramics to narratives. De Morgan authored 'A Likely Story' (1911), a whimsical tale exemplifying his characteristic intricate plotting and a penchant for the fantastic imbued with subtle wit. His literary style often mirrored the Victorian penchant for leisurely paced, detailed storytelling, yet notable for its use of irony and humor. He possessed a distinct narrative voice that was both moralistic and romantic, reflecting in his other works such as 'Joseph Vance' (1906) and 'Somehow Good' (1908). De Morgan's contributions to literature, though limited by his later start, have since been recognized for their imaginative richness and reflective quality of an era transitioning into modernity. As with his art, De Morgan's novels exhibit a craftsman's attention to detail, an appreciation for beauty, and a delight in the idiosyncrasies of human nature.
