Apostles of Beauty: Arts and Crafts from Britain to Chicago

Mary Greensted discusses the reasons why so many arts and crafts designers deserted city life in favor of the rural Cotswolds. She reviews the lives and workshops of William Morris, Ernest Gimson, and C. R. Ashbee, who developed some of the most stunning and influential artworks of the arts and crafts movement.
