Such thoughts are perhaps uppermost on a perusal of Peterson's full bibliography of literary publications and lectures, appended to the essays distinguished here. If this essay collection anticipated the anniversaries of the Kelmscott Press and its I Chaucer i by a year, it arrived just in time for the fuller appreciation of William Morris's influences and his legacy.
