Printed at the Kelmscott
The Kelmscott Press published fifty-two books and a set of specimen pages for Froissart's Chronicles, a book that was never completed.
William Morris had many ideas for volumes he hoped to print at the Kelmscott Press. Books already in production were completed after Morris's death in 1896; however the press was closed in 1898 after these works were completed. There were many works that Morris had hoped to print but never produced. These included Shakespeare's plays, a catalogue of William Morris's library, John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, and novels by Sir Walter Scott and Charles Dickens. A complete timeline of Morris' setting up and running of the press is available on the resources page.
