The Kelmscott Chaucer “is a beautiful work of craftsmanship which will show many generations of students what fine workmanship really is, but the names of Geoffrey Chaucer, William Morris and T.E. Lawrence give it a glow of history and of the aspiration of the human soul…”
Queen’s Principal Mackintosh, upon receiving the Kelmscott Chaucer in 1958.
