This book is impeccably researched, written with great clarity and nuance, and beautifully illustrated. In nine chapters we read of the complexity of the subject of “architectural glass,” meet the pioneers of the movement, including architects and designers of the Gothic Revival in Britain, critic John Ruskin, William Morris and his circle, the Art Workers’ Guild (founded in 1884) the Arts & Crafts Exhibition Society (founded in 1887) and see the extraordinary windows of the glazers who followed them and who were also artist-craftsmen, authors, and teachers, and their apprentices and students through the 1950s. This volume illustrates and evaluates the work of over a hundred studios, firms, art schools, and individual artists working in England, Scotland, Ireland, and the USA.
