“Eric Gill was perhaps the greatest English artist-craftsman of the twentieth century, a typographer and lettercutter of genius and a master in the art of sculpture and wood engraving… Surrounded by loving disciples, he was the dominant force in three devout Catholic Arts- and crafts communes, each of which began in harmony and ended in disarray., largely because of his fickle and quarellsome nature. He was also a devoted husband and father, whose succession of mistresses and affairs is startling even now; and it is clear that incest with sisters and dughters was part of the pattern. ”Fiona McCarthy from the book’s flap text.
