In 1891 William Morris founded the Kelmscott Press after a lifelong crusade against the dehumanizing effects of Victorian industrialism. During its brief history (1891-8) the Press produced 52 books, including the famous "Chaucer", which offered a powerful vision of what Morris called "the ideal book" and set new standards for fine printing. This study of Morris' endeavours draws on a wide range of unpublished letters and diaries to provide a full-length account of the history of the Press.

The world of Victorian printing; William Morris and the book arts; founding the Press; Morris as book-designer; the decorated book; the business of the Press; the story of three books; the Kelmscott "Chaucer"; closing the Press; the legacy of Morris and his Press. Appendices: checklist of the Kelmscott Press books; Emery Walker's 1888 lecture.
