Hij schildert het vroegmiddeleeuwse Engeland als een soort gouden tijdperk \u0026ndash; heel anders dan het overheersende idee van de donkere en gewelddadige periode. \u003cstrong\u003eVerhouding van de roman tot de praktijk van de kunstenaar\u003c/strong\u003e In 1891 richtte Morris zijn eigen Kelmscott Press op, een mijlpaal in fijn drukwerk. 1892 gaf Kelmscott Press een editie van *A Dream of John Bell* uit, in Morris\u0026rsquo; eigen Golden- en Ornaments-lettertypes, en met een cover ontworpen door Edward Burne-Jones.
