Byzantium was a very influential part of the development of the
Arts and Crafts Movement (1880-1910) in Britain, and although the
influence of the Gothic Revival (1830-80) is well known, that of
the Byzantine Revival (1840-1910) is not. This volume is about the
people and the movements that created the Byzantine Revival and
shows how they influenced British heritage from architecture to the
decorative arts during the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. The central pillars of the volume are the architects and
scholars who created the Byzantine Research Fund (BRF) Archive, a
unique collection of architectural drawings and photographs of
numerous monuments across the Byzantine world, and the social and
professional networks in which they circulated. The BRF members, an
eclectic and little-known group, who based themselves at the newly
founded British School at Athens, established the research of
Byzantium in Britain and Greece. They were trained in the
traditions of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which sought
authenticity in design and decoration in reaction to the styles
that had developed through industrialization. Their work, uniting a
distinctively British design tradition with Byzantine arts and
crafts, represents a highly significant and under-researched link
between Britain and the Hellenic world. This volume is the first
contribution to try to fill this knowledge gap. Byzantium and
British Heritage will appeal to all those interested in the
relation between Byzantine and British culture and Byzantine art.
