The Kelmscott Chaucer at UBC

Gregory Mackie, a UBC English professor, was interviewed on CBC’s North by Northwest about the Kelmscott Chaucer.

“It’s quite extraordinarily decorated,” Mackie said. “William Butler Yeats, the poet, actually called it the most beautiful of all printed books… This book was only published in 438 copies.”
