(a) Arts and Crafts Movement

William Morris was an English poet, artist, and socialist reformer, who rejected the opulence

on the Victorian era and urged a return to medieval traditions of design, craftsmanship, and

community in 1883. In this period, factory manufactured goods were often poor in design and

quality. Morris proposed that it would be better for all if individual craftsmanship could be

revived:- the worker could then produce beautiful objects that exhibited the result of fine

craftsmanship, as opposed to the shoddy products of mass production. In his political writings,

Morris attempted to correct the dehumanizing effects of the Industrial Revolution by

proposing a form of society in which people could enjoy craftsmanship and simplicity of

expression.

However, in time the English Arts and Crafts movement came to stress craftsmanship at the

expense of mass market pricing. The result was exquisitely made and decorated pieces that

could only be afforded by the very wealthy.
