Description

Book Synopsis
A fascinating reassessment of the conventional understanding of a cohesive ‘Arts and Crafts movement’ in Britain. The book’s illuminating visual analysis and radical new interpretations of key contexts such as the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society and the homes of William Morris call for a major reconsideration of the history of Victorian design.

Trade Review

In Hart's insightful study, with its microscopic, considered analysis of the aims and design of Morris and Crane, she provides us with a 'modus operandi' with which to reconsider the field of British craft.

provides a thought-provoking commentary on the development of design in the second half of the nineteenth century.
