Abstract

Such thoughts are perhaps uppermost on a perusal of Peterson's full bibliography of literary publications and lectures, appended to the essays distinguished here. If this essay collection anticipated the anniversaries of the Kelmscott Press and its I Chaucer i by a year, it arrived just in time for the fuller appreciation of William Morris's influences and his legacy. A book more sumptuously styled by its author would not be as tasteful a tribute to Morris's foliated ornaments, ample margins, and Troy and Golden types; though not vellum, its pages are a pleasure to handle (and Morris preferred paper anyway).
