"The Arts and Crafts movement grew out of the reaction against 19th century industrialization and the decline in quality resulting from mass-production. The ideals of the movement's founders William Morris and John Ruskin found a practical outlet in the formation of art guilds which like their medieval counterparts provided workshops and meetings-places for the fastidious craftsman. The aims and ideals of the Arts and Crafts were not confined to Britain: the parallel movement in America was equally important and influential. Both countries experienced a flowering of small village-based craft communities and a rapid interchange of ideas followed the transatlantic visits of a number of important designers . The history of the Arts and Crafts movement is here traced in detail from its inception to decline in both Britain and America examing fully its aims achievements and political relevance . These are profusely illustrated by examples of works in wood metal glass ceramics and fabrics beautifully photographed in both color and black and white many of which are published for the first time." - dust jacket description.
