Surveying for the first time theCentury Guild of Artists and its influential periodical, the CenturyGuild Hobby Horse, this original publication asserts the significance of the Guild in the development of the Arts and Crafts movement and its modernist successors. The founders of the Century Guild - architect Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo and his 18-year-oldassistant Herbert Percy Horne (afterwards joined by the artist and poet SelwynImage) - were driven by the ambition toanswer John Ruskin' s radical call to regenerate art and society. Motivated by the concept of ' the Unity of Art' , the Guild embraced a spectrum of arts which included architecture, painting,sculpture, metalwork, textiles and stained glass. It also reached out to musicand literature, aiming to educate its public in practical form. Skilfully weaving chronology with the impressive artistic achievements of the collective, the authors also draw out the lively personalities of each of the protagonists and their wider circle. For anyone fascinated by the Arts and Crafts movement, this is essential reading.
