"The Arts and Crafts movement grew out of the reaction against 19th century industrialization and the decline in quality resulting from mass-production. The ideals of the movement's founders, William Morris and John Ruskin, found a practical outlet in the formation of art guilds which, like their medieval counterparts, provided workshops and meetings-places for the fastidious craftsman. The aims and ideals of the Arts and Crafts were not confined to Britain: the parallel movement in America was equally important and influential. Both countries experienced a flowering of small village-based craft communities and a rapid interchange of ideas followed the transatlantic visits of a number of important designers . The history of the Arts and Crafts movement is here traced in detail from its inception to decline in both Britain and America, examing fully its aims, achievements and political relevance . These are profusely illustrated by examples of works in wood, metal, glass, ceramics and fabrics beautifully photographed in both color and black and white, many of which are published for the first time." - dust jacket description.

William Morris (18341896) was the towering figure in late 19th-century design and the main influence on the Arts and Crafts movement. The aesthetic and social vision of the movement grew out of ideas that he developed in the 1850s with the Birmingham Set a group of students at the University of Oxford including Edward Burne-Jones, who combined a love of Romantic literature with a commitment to social reform. The medievalism of Malory's Morte d'Arthur set the standard for their early style. William Morris's Red House in Bexleyheath, designed by Philip Webb and completed in 1860; one of the most significant buildings of the Arts and Crafts movement. Morris began experimenting with various crafts and designing furniture and interiors. He was personally involved in manufacture as well as design, which was the hallmark of the Arts and Crafts movement. Morris argued that "without dignified, creative human occupation people became disconnected from life". In 1861, Morris began making furniture and decorative objects commercially, modeling his designs on medieval styles and using bold forms and strong colors. His patterns were based on flora and fauna, and his products were inspired by the vernacular or domestic traditions of the British countryside. Morris strove to unite all the arts within the decoration of the home, emphasizing nature and simplicity of form. The Arts and Crafts movement was an international trend in the decorative and fine arts that developed earliest and most fully in the British Isles and subsequently spread across the British Empire and to the rest of Europe and America. Initiated in reaction against the perceived impoverishment of the decorative arts and the conditions in which they were produced, the movement flourished in Europe and North America between about 1880 and 1920. Some consider that it is the root of the Modern Style, a British expression of what later came to be called the Art Nouveau movement. Others consider that it is the incarnation of Art Nouveau in England. Others consider Art and Crafts to be in opposition to Art Nouveau. Arts and Crafts indeed criticized Art Nouveau for its use of industrial materials such as iron. In Japan, it emerged in the 1920s as the Mingei movement. It stood for traditional craftsmanship, and often used medieval, romantic, or folk styles of decoration. It advocated economic and social reform and was anti-industrial in its orientation. It had a strong influence on the arts in Europe until it was displaced by Modernism in the 1930s, and its influence continued among craft makers, designers, and town planners long afterwards. The term was first used by T. J. Cobden-Sanderson at a meeting of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1887, although the principles and style on which it was based had been developing in England for at least 20 years. It was inspired by the ideas of historian Thomas Carlyle, art critic John Ruskin, and designer William Morris. In Scotland, it is associated with key figures such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Viollet le Duc's books on nature and Gothique art also play an essential part in the esthetics of the Arts and Crafts movement.
