Description
This is the definitive book on Philip Webb (18311915), a key figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and a leading member of the Pre-Raphaelite circle, who has since emerged as one of the most important architects of the nineteenth century.
Combining architectural history and biography, the narrative gives a full picture of the character of this extraordinary man who was known for his absolute integrity and who shunned publicity but nevertheless attracted clients of high status and came to be one of the most significant architectural innovators of his age.
Interspersed with vivid descriptions of Webbs buildings, it covers his relationships with his clients, contractors and artistic contemporaries and friends such as William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. As well as covering Webbs work for Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co, in which he was a partner, the book also includes his involvement with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, which he helped Morris to found and for which he developed influential methods of repairing buildings unobtrusively.
Aimed at the wider public as well as the academic world, this is the first publication to include a systematic and detailed analysis of Webbs philosophy and all his work. Illustrated with new photography by Martin Charles, it is complimented with plans, drawings and archive photographs which are brought together for the first time.
