I just read an unfortunate sentence.

"What William Morris and his associates began at the Kelmscott Press spread rapidly through Europe and North America. By the end of World War I, the precious mannerisms and medievalisms of the Pre Raphaelites and that unfortunate manifestation known as art nouveau had been sloughed off."

It started out so wonderfully, and ended in blasphemy. Terrible.
