About the book

The Kelmscott Chaucer presents the works of Geoffrey Chaucer in the celebrated design originally created by William Morris for the Kelmscott Press. Decorative borders, elaborate typography and illustrations after Edward Burne-Jones combine literature and book design into a unified artistic object. The original 1896 edition is considered one of the masterpieces of the Arts and Crafts movement and of fine printing.
