William Morris studied Old Norse with Magnússon (1833-1913), an Icelandic scholar at the University of Cambridge. Within a year of Morris starting his studies, teacher and pupil published the present volume, the beginning of a fruitful collaboration. For Morris' biographer Fiona MacCarthy, Old Norse literature and Iceland became so important to Morris between 1868 and 1876 that they were to become a 'central obsession' in his life. The recipient was the noted clergyman, historian, novelist and poet Charles Kingsley, whose ideas on social reform were a great influence on Morris during his time at university.

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by one of the translators on an inserted leaf before the half-title, "To Beresford Hope, Esq. M.P. with kindest regards from Eiríkr Magnússon", together with an autograph letter signed from Morris to Magnússon. The Conservative politician Alexander Beresford Hope (1820 1887) was also known as a writer on architectural, archaeological, and ecclesiastical subjects. William Morris studied Old Norse with Magnússon (1833 1913), an Icelandic scholar at the University of Cambridge. Within a year of Morris starting his studies, teacher and pupil published the present volume, the beginning of a fruitful collaboration. For Morris's biographer Fiona MacCarthy, Old Norse literature and Iceland became so important to Morris between 1868 and 1876 that they were to become a "central obsession" in his life. The undated letter dates from 1868 or 1869, near the beginning of their collaboration. Morris suggests that he visit Cambridge for "the great pleasure of an evening's reading and chat with you". He provides an update on progress ("I have been hard at work with the translations and have come to end of Harald's Saga"), and suggests a new text if his intended reading "doesn't fill my belly or kill you". In addition to his work on the translation, Morris contributed a sonnet which appears before the title page. As Buxton Forman notes, "the sonnet form was an unusual one for Morris". Buxton Forman 22; LeMire A-5.01 Octavo (215 x 135 mm). Brown morocco by the Club Bindery, dated 1901, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, raised bands, ornate floral border to covers in gilt, marbled endpapers, gilt edges, folding map.

Front and rear joints somewhat rubbed, corner and raised bands lightly rubbed, front inner hinge split but tight, tiny repair to inscription leaf, very minor tear to title page, occasional light browning or foxing, else an attractive and very good copy.

Erstausgabe
Leather. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. Not stated (illustrator). First edition. William Morris' and his Icelandic teacher Eiríkr Magnússon translate the Kormaks saga in this first edition. William Morris' and his Icelandic teacher Eiríkr Magnússon translate the thirteenth century Icelandic saga. With twelve illustrations, collated and complete. With images of Morris' calligraphic manuscript from which the translation was taken, this volume contains the first printing of his translation of the Kormaks saga. Written in the first half of the thirteenth century, the saga tells of the tenth-century Icelandic poet Kormak Ogmundsson and of the love of his life, Steingerd Torkelsdatter, to whom he is betrothed. The saga preserves a significant number of poems attributed to Kormak, many of them dealing with his love for Steingerd. Although William Morris is perhaps best known for his textile designs, he was also a prolific writer, and published several translations of Old Norse literature. In a green quarter leather binding over grey cloth boards. Externally, smart. Lightly rubbed to the spine, a little more so to the head and tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound, with bright and clean pages throughout. Very Good Indeed. book.
