Description
The first book on the Century Guild of Artists (CGA) and its influential periodical, the Century Guild Hobby Horse. The significance of the CGA in the development of the Arts and Crafts movement and its modernist successors is assessed.
'This is fascinating cultural history that charts a difficult set of artistic relationships whilst expertly analysing their incredibly varied output.' – The Victorian magazine
'Both the book and exhibition under review, each in their own ways exemplary endeavours, serve to shed light on what has hitherto been seen as something of a digression in the narrative of late nineteenth century British art but, on closer inspection, proves to have been a significant creative alliance of lasting importance.' – Pre-Raphaelite Review
