Synopsis
The turn of the Nineteenth Century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, with two contrasting styles emerging; Art Nouveau and the International Style.
Professor Pevsner brings a new clarity to an often confusing period, tracing with the aid of nearly two hundred carefully chosen illustrations the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.

External Reviews
"No one but Dr Pevsner could have packed so much information into so compact a work or illustrated it more effectively." - The Times Literary Supplement.
"This book is a classic. I read it as a required book when working for my degree in design. That was many years ago, and I remembered it and just had to have it. I wasn't disappointed. It lets you see the evolution of modern design, from the time of William Morris." - Google Review.
"There is no more readable, more copiously illustrated survey of the period from the Crystal Palace to the Bauhaus" - Sunday Telegraph.
