Arts and Crafts objects by Imogen Hart

A fascinating reassessment of the conventional understanding of a cohesive Arts and Crafts movement in Britain. The books 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. -- .

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.
