“The Arts and Crafts of Today” is a lecture by William Morris delivered in October 1889 in Edinburgh and printed as part of a 5-volume set at the Chiswick Press, with the Golden type designed by Morris. As Walter Crane wrote of Morris’s far-reaching aesthetic philosophy, “if it has not turned all British craftsmen into artists or all British artists into craftsmen, it has done not little to expand and socialize the idea of art”.
