The essays address various aspects of the Arts and Crafts movement, advocating for a revival of decorative art and emphasizing the importance of integrating beauty into everyday objects. Key figures in the movement, including William Morris, contribute to the discussions, reflecting on the aesthetic principles and practicalities of crafting functional art. The opening of this work features a preface by William Morris, wherein he discusses the decline of beauty in modern art and life, indicating a need for a revival of genuine craftsmanship. He critiques the prevalent industrial practices that prioritize efficiency over artistic integrity, while outlining the challenges faced by artisans in a commercialized society. Morris emphasizes the importance of recognizing and promoting the unique contributions of individual craftspeople to enhance the aesthetic quality of functional items, which sets the tone for the subsequent essays that explore specific crafts like textiles, metalwork, and furniture design.
