Extensive study of the principles and theories underlying the Arts and Crafts movement. "Shows how Arts and Crafts attitudes were conditioned, on the one hand, by efforts of such reformers as Sir Henry Cole to create better standards for manufactured goods and, on the other, by the Ruskinian loathing for machinery. The development of the idea that a corrupt society can never achieve anything of value in art, architecture, and design is traced through the work and theory of Pugin, Ruskin, and Morris."
