Reeves & Turner, 1887. Hardcover. First one volume edition of this version of the Odyssey "done into English" by William Morris. Original blue/gray cloth with paper spine label. 8vo - 450 pages. The spine and boards are bumped and worn. Binding is intact. Some pages are annotated in pencil. A very interesting book in context. William Morris' translation attempts a medieval style and the book was published in the same year that the "arts and crafts movement" (with which Morris was so closely connected) was recognised, with the foundation of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society.
