The Encyclopedia of arts and crafts : the international arts movement, 1850-1920
Gillian Naylor, Wendy Kaplan (Editor)
"The Arts and Crafts Movement arose in mid-nineteenth-century England as a passionate response to the encroachment of the Machine Age. The movement had a major impact on the philosphy of art and design in the United States and continental Europe as well as in Britain. It deeply influenced subsequent trends in design, crafts and art. This comprehensive book places the multifaceted movement within its historical, cultural an artistic contexts, with full coverage of its major figures, their aims and ambitions and the works they created" --Publisher's description
