Written by experts in each field, it interweaves the general with the particular: the overarching ideology and its various strands with the ways in which it manifested itself in different regions and cultural traditions. Lavishly illustrated, extensively researched and published to coincide with a major exhibition at the V & A in London, this book presents a compelling reassessment of the Arts and Crafts Movement, an invaluable visual record of an ever-popular era of design."--Jacket. || Contents: Introduction: International arts and crafts / Linda Parry, Karen Livingstone -- PART ONE: ARTS AND CRAFTS IN BRITAIN -- Origins and development / karen Livingstone -- The importance of the city / Alan Crawford -- Arts and crafts book arts / Annemarie Riding Bilclough -- Arts and crafts graphics / Stephen Calloway -- Nature and the rural idyll / Mary Greensted -- Architecture and gardens / Alan Powers -- Arts and crafts metalwork and silver / Juliette Hibou, Eric Turner -- Arts and crafts jewellery / Clare Phillips -- Photography in Britain and America / Martin Barnes -- PART TWO: ARTS AND CRAFTS IN AMERICA -- The East Coast: 'enterprise upon a higher plane' / David Cathers -- Progressive Chicago: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School / Cheryl Robertson -- Arts and crafts art pottery / Karen Livingstone -- Western North America: nature's spirit / Edward R.
