Tessa Wild is a curator and writer specialising in the nineteenth century. Educated at Cambridge University and the Courtauld Institute of Art, she worked as a curator with the National Trust from 1998 to 2015. She was curator of Red House from its acquisition by the National Trust in 2003 until 2015, during which time she led a major research programme on the house. She has lectured and published widely on the subject and was awarded a Paul Mellon Mid-Career Fellowship in 2016 to undertake further research on Morris and Red House.
Enlivened by a profusion of fine color and historic photographs, a few digital reconstructions, relevant letters from members of the Morris group, a running account of ongoing restoration research, and Wild's informed speculation about lost or missing artifacts. The most gratifying aspect of the book, however, is Wild's ability to capture the way that Morris's energy motivated and consolidated the group ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers. * CHOICE *
