“an invaluable catalog.”—Edward Rothstein, Wall Street Journal

“[The book] serves as both an introductory text and, for those well-read on the movement, one offering new dimensions to this vast subject”— Roger Dunn, Art Newspaper

“This book is the catalogue of an exhibition at the Harry Ransom Center, a great repository, likened to ‘an old attic filled with the most wondrous things’, at the University of Texas in Austin. It starts with the British origins of the Arts-and-Crafts movement, but the greater part describes its (to British readers) less familiar flourishing in the USA.”— CountryLife

“It serves as both an introductory text and, for those well-read on the movement, one offering new dimensions to this vast subject”— Roger Dunn, The Art Newspaper

“It is not a conventional catalogue, but the extended captions form a record of an exhibition and most of the contributions add usefully to discussion of how the Arts & Crafts Movement evolved in the 20th century” —Annette Carruthers, DAS
