About this Item
Description:
A smart example of William Morris and A. J. Wyatt's English language translation of the Old English epic poem 'Beowulf'. First published in 1895 by Morris's own Kelmscott Press, and first published in a trade edition in 1898 this is a lovely later edition.Because his understanding of Old English was limited, Morris's translation was based on the pre-existing work of Alfred John Wyatt. Critical responses to Morris's translation upon its publication was unfavourable.With an advertisement leaf to the rear.With the inscription of E. G. M. McClure, dated 1907, to the front free endpaper. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Bumping to back strip head and tail. Paper spine label age toned. Otherwise, externally excellent. Inscription to front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright, with only the odd spot. Very Good. Seller Inventory # 883F49
