MORRIS, WILLIAM, TRANSLATOR
The Story of the Volsungs & Niblungs with Certain Songs from the Elder Edda. Translated from the Icelandic by Eiríkr Magússon and William Morris.
London: F. S. Ellis, 1870. First edition, one of 750 copies printed. Forman 28; this first edition oddly not in NCBEL, which list editions beginning in 1877. 8vo, original elaborately gilt-patterned dark green cloth designed by Morris, gilt lettering, untrimmed. Four pages of publisher's terminal ads. ¶ Inscribed on the half-title to “Algernon Charles Swinburne / from his friend William Morris.” Morris has characteristically run both lines of the inscription to the edge of the paper, causing him to cramp and bend his writing at the very end in order to get it all in. ¶ An early work by Morris, inscribed to one of the great poets of the period, a personal friend and admirer, and an intimate member - like Morris - of the Pre-Raphaelite group. Cloth worn with a one-inch piece missing from the top of the spine; some water staining to the endpapers (inscription and half-title not touched); tape repairs to the rear hinge; a good, sound copy, but the association makes up for any faults in condition.
