`Twentieth-Century Design is extremely thoroughly researched'
Art Review, April 1997
`for a good general introduction to the subject you could not go
very far wrong with Jonathan Woodham's excellent Twentieth Century
Design ... Yet another example of the impressive new Oxford History
of Art series.'
The Bookseller
`Fully and often surprisingly illustrated, carefully annotated and
captioned, each combines a historical overview with a nicely
opinionated individual approach.'
Independent on Sunday
`Woodham gives a deftly organised, extremely cool-headed account of
the ideological spoon-fights behind the product ranges of modern
capitalism: his range of reference and eye for detail are
superb.'
The Guardian
`a superb piece of publishing'
Rupert Christiansen, Spectator
...a valuable contribution to the field of design studies, and it
deserves careful attention. Woodham is one of many intelligent
writers in the new wave of British design history. His book...is
likely to become a benchmark for measuring the aspirations and
accomplishments of the movement. His book is a reasonable and
valuable exploration of design history that is not easily
falsified. - Richard Buchanan. Journal of Design History. Vol 11
1998.
