Publisher's Synopsis
This published edition of Florence Boos' Kelmscott Lecture of 2007 is very well illustrated and brings out the importance of architecture in William Morris's philosophy, including the ideals of pleasure in labour and simplicity in life, the value of craft and architecture and their links to history, and the need to be in harmony with nature. Examples from both Morris's early and late works are considered along with a detailed look at the 'Shadow of Amiens', and includes Florence's own visit there.
