Summary:

In twenty-three separate essays by prominent museum curators, educators, collectors, and scholars, the complex aspects of the American arts and crafts movement are examined: national and international style and ideology; industrial design; redefinition of craft traditions, unification of the fine and decorative arts; and community visions. New discoveries in objects, photographs, and rare prints and manuscripts illustrate the text.
