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. A style for the age - Art Nouveau - New Impetus from England - Art and Industry - Towards the International style - William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement - Antoni Gaudi.
