Review


"This incisive and elegant study, well written and with carefully chosen illustrations, has much to contribute." --Journal of Transportation History


"Medievalists take note. Michael Saler brilliantly argues that the development of the London Underground in the interwar period marks the culmination of the arts and crafts movement inspired by John Ruskin and William Morris. Its medievalism, appropriated by the moralizing developers of the Underground, enabled the adoption of controversial avant-garde station architecture and advertising." --Kathleen Biddick in The Medieval Review


"This book, a well-written text full of irony and dry wit, is based on a sophisticated and well-researched appreciation of the period, recent criticism, a broad historical context, and, especially, the biographies of those involved.... This book will be of interest to social and intellectual historians of the arts in interwar Britain and in the institutional promotion of the arts. It is an important contribution."--Historian


"What makes The Avant-Garde in Interwar England an exciting book...is the variety of issues on which Pick's career sheds light, or which shed light on it."--Common Knowledge
