520 8  Walter Crane (1845-1915) was one of the most important, 
       versatile and radical artists of the nineteenth century: a
       painter, decorator, designer, book illustrator, poet, 
       author, teacher, art theorist, and socialist. Crane's 
       astonishingly diverse body of work challenged the 
       establishment, artistically and politically. In this 
       original and carefully researched new study, Morna O'Neill
       presents a fascinating portrait of an artist who used his 
       talent and energy to dismantle the traditional boundaries 
       between fine art and decorative art, between elite and 
       popular, between art and propaganda. Crane's enduring 
       influence is felt on many levels, and significant new 
       research in this book uncovers the magnificent breadth of 
       his artistic practice. The finest book illustrator of the 
       Victorian era, he revolutionized that field. Inspired by 
       John Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites, he was central to the
       development of Aestheticism in England and, later, 
       Symbolism in Europe. A friend and associate of William 
       Morris, his work embodied Arts and Crafts ideals
