Toujours terriblement d'actualité, et traduction de bonne qualité. Les notes de contexte du traducteur étaient appréciables. J'ai tiqué sur le fait que Marie Ière d'Angleterre soit appelée Marie Tudor, mais c'est malheureusement toujours très courant. J'étais particulièrement en phase avec les textes I (Art, bien-être et richesse) et III (Les finalités de l'art), un peu moins avec le texte II (Des rapports entre l'art et le travail) mais cela n'enlève rien à la qualité de la réflexion.
