Emmanuel Cooper, a distinguished potter who knew Rie, interviewed many of her friends and acquaintances to produce this complete and detailed account of Rie's life and work. The author was given unrestricted access by the Rie estate to previously unpublished letters and other material, which provide fascinating new insights into her life and work and allowed him to reevaluate Rie's creative output within the broader context of modernism and the emergence of the studio pottery movement in Britain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 'It [is] unlikely that this biography of Rie will ever be surpassed.' --Frances Spalding, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A precious gift, from the only man who could have written it.' --Glenn Adamson, \u003ci\u003eCrafts Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmmanuel Cooper\u003c\/b\u003e was a distinguished potter, writer, and curator.
