- Description
- Considers the "temporal hybridity" of the Kelmscott Chaucer and the challenge it poses to classification. Neither strictly functional book nor decorative object, the Kelmscott mirrors the Middle Ages' abjectness and highlights medievalism's purchase on the uncanny. Also considers the ontology of facsimiles and Kelmscott as facsimile, as well as the Kelmscott's ongoing commodification in popular culture.
