Biography
Anne Massey is Professorial Fellow at the University for the Creative Arts. She has written eight books, including Interior Design Since 1900, The Independent Group: Modernism and Mass Culture in Britain, 1945–59 and ICA 1946–68.
"Designing Liners was the first study of ocean liner interior design. This revised edition adds detailed analysis of the glamorous, nostalgic interiors designed for today’s giant cruise ships while also considering growing concerns over the environmental impact of these behemoths and anticipating their future in an age of pandemic. It remains the definitive study of passenger ship interiors."
Dr Gregory Votolato, Victoria & Albert Museum and Royal College of Art
"Wonderful to see this seminal text in its second edition; updates on enduring popular fascination with ocean liners and the current compelling discussion of the cruise industry."
Dr Harriet Mckay, The Cass School of Art, Architecture & Design, London
