Recenzii

"These 1100 letters from 1864-1914 are a fascinating insight into the life of a quiet, generous man. Comprehensive footnotes give context to the correspondence and the index, always vital in collections of this sort, is full and helpful."
- Penny Lyndon, The Journal of William Morris Studies

"Philip Webb's letters are endlessly informative and enjoyable, but John Aplin's footnotes are themselves a delight. Never over-intrusive, they are nevertheless an important contribution to scholarship."
- Peter Burman, SPAB, Autumn 2016

"John Aplin has made a selection of 1,120 of Webb's letters [...] They give not only fascinating insight into his work and principles, but also a vivid impression of his admirable character [...] Their publication is an important contribution to our knowledge of the architectural and artistic history of the period covered. It forms an invaluable supplement to the biography by Lethaby (1935)"
- The Art Newspaper
