Notes:
"Throughout his lecture Morris wove together themes of architecture and the book arts, creating the sense of a total environment for the mind and the eye. On pages 44-45 he treated what he called literary and household furnishings, moving between the fields of literature, architecture, painting, weaving, and embroidery. This interrelationship of many arts is not surprising in a lecture given to an arts and crafts society, and it is typical of the integrated view which Ruskin, Morris and their followers held"--Alice H.R.H. Beckwith. Victorian bibliomania....Providence, Rhode Island: Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, 1987.
