"Arts and Crafts in the Middle Ages" by Julia de Wolf Addison is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of the various applied arts and craftsmanship from the medieval period, particularly focusing on the skills and techniques of artisans in gold and silver work, jewelry, tapestry, and more. It aims to shed light on the artistry and significance of these works, connecting past craftsmanship with contemporary interests in the arts and crafts movement. The opening of the text establishes the context of a renewed fascination with arts and crafts in America, linking it to the influences of figures like Ruskin and Morris. Addison emphasizes the importance of understanding medieval craftsmanship to appreciate its revival in modern times. She outlines the topics to be discussed, including the historical background and technical processes in metalwork, furnishing the reader with insights into the role of guilds and standards of craftsmanship during the Middle Ages. The introduction is rich with observations about the balance of utility and aesthetic value in craftsmanship, setting the stage for an in-depth examination of the artistry that characterized the medieval period.
