Synopsis

The 1896 Kelmscott Press edition of The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer brought together the work of William Morris, noted for his achievements in typography and printing, and Sir Edward Burne-Jones, who produced 87 full-page woodcut illustrations. Long regarded as a distinctive landmark for readers interested in Chaucer, English literature, the history of English printing, and 19th-century British art, it has been celebrated as a singular object of bookmaking.

First issued in a limited run of fewer than 500 copies and seldom seen on the rare book market, this edition makes that celebrated design available again for collectors and bibliophiles.
