Illustrated Editions of the Works of William Morris
in English: A Descriptive Bibliography
by Robert L. M. Coupe
§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§
This prestigious work presents a detailed description of the various
editions of works by William Morris in which one or more artists have
illustrated the text. Each bibliographic entry, in addition to supplying
comprehensive information on the physical appearance of the title,
emphasizes the artistic aspect of the particular book.
A number of different William Morris border designs have been used
throughout the book.
The author has paid special attention to each artist and to his or her
visual interpretation of Morris’s writing. Dr. Coupe has supplied
biographical notes for every artist and has also appended critical
comments on the success of the illustrator in complementing Morris’s
vision.
In the course of compiling the entries in this book, the author has
brought together a wide array of interesting information that will be of
value to many Morris enthusiasts and to those studying the history and
art of the book.
Dr. Coupe is a life member of the William Morris Society. Co-published
with The British Library.
Publication date is scheduled for late August 2002.
