About This Item
Manchester, UK / Dover, NH: Manchester University Press, 1984. Softcover. VG (some notations within the text, minimal shelf wear at corners). Black wraps with color illustration and pink and white lettering, xii, 225 pp., illustrations throughout, a few in color. "The book considers the tradtition in which Morris worked and the developmemt of his attitude towards the medieval past. Art plays a central role, as it did in all Morris's thinking, since, even in his socialist years, it was always the history of art rather than political or economic history that shaped for him the pattern of history, and his vision for the future. By looking at the work of Morris, his contemporaries and those who influenced him - Pugin, Burges, Rossetti, Burne-Jones, etc. - as well as the output of Morris & Co., these new essays try to convey something of the complexity of the Victorian medieval revival." - from back of book.
