Review

Many of the most influential architects and designers of the past 150 years - William Morris, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Edwin Lutyens - are associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement, drawn to its basic tenets of craftsmanship, individuality and respect for the past.

Adrian Tinniswood examines the origins, influences and ideas behind this movement, exploring the design, decoration, furnishing and the gardens of the houses which survive as the greatest legacy of this tradition.

This is a well-illustrated and engaging survey of this important international design movement. - review by Stewart Grimshaw
