Description
In his Kelmscott Chaucer, Morris presents Chaucer as a proponent of anti-capitalist socialism, consistent with Morris's own arts and crafts movement. The essay comments on the heteroglot voices of the Canterbury pilgrims and the Kelmscott illustrations of Chaucer that frame CT in this edition; compares these features with Morris's own interests and activities.
