Background
His association with Besant is likely to spring from his concern for art and social reform as in 1884 Besant had initiated the Home Arts and Industries Association, very similar in its aims to the Art Workers Guild, of which Crane was master in 1888 and 1889 and to the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, which he helped to found in 1888.
