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).

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by Morris on the half-title, "Algernon Charles Swinburne, from his friend William Morris". This is an exceptional Pre-Raphaelite association: Swinburne was an intimate friend of Morris, one of the earliest admirers of his poetry, and one of the first writers with whom Morris shared his interest in Icelandic epics. The pair first met in Oxford in July 1857, when Morris was working (with Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti) on the murals in the debating chamber of the Oxford Union. It was, creatively and personally, a vital time for Morris: in September that year he met Jane Burden, his future wife and muse, and in October he submitted the manuscript for his first book of poems, The Defence of Guenevere, to Macmillan. Swinburne, at the time, was a student at Balliol College; his friendship with Morris was founded on a shared enthusiasm for Malory and Arthurian legend, and the two quickly began reading and appraising each other's writing. Swinburne was "among the most fervid admirers of Morris's early poetry" (Mackail, vol. I, pp. 131-2): his juvenile poem "Queen Yseult" clearly shows the influence of Morris's own "La Belle Iseult", and in December 1857, in a letter to John Nichol, Swinburne remembered how he read his version "one evening to Morris and the others. They all praise the poem far more than I (seriously speaking) believe it deserves. Morris says it is much better than his own poem, which opinion I took the liberty to tell him was absurd" (Lang, vol. I, p. 13). Swinburne was a frequent guest at Morris's Red House in London in the 1860s, and in 1864 introduced him to F. S. Ellis, the publisher of the present edition. Around this time, Swinburne read a copy of George Powell and Eiríkur Magnússon's Legends of Iceland (1866), and hoped to introduce Powell to Morris. He wrote to Powell that Morris "is as much interested as you are, though ignorant as I am, concerning Icelandic matters. He is in my opinion, and in that of older and wiser men, one of the best poets of the time, and a great admirer of your work" (Lang, vol. I, p. 164). Though it seems Morris never did meet Powell, in 1869 he did meet Magnússon, and the two began collaborating on the present translation of Icelandic epics in earnest. Morris was keen to share his early endeavours with Swinburne, and in December 1869, he wrote to tell him that "I am about an Icelandic translation now which throws all the other stories into the shade. This is the Völsunga, the story of Nibelungen in fact. I should like very much to show you the translation which is nearly finished now; you can't fail to be moved by it I'm sure" (Kelvin, pp. 100-101). The work was published a few months later: the publisher's catalogue bound at the rear of each copy carries an advertisement for Swinburne's Songs Before Sunrise, listed as "nearly ready". Following Morris's death in 1896, Swinburne paid tribute to his fellow Pre-Raphaelite, writing to his mother that Morris was "one of the best friends we ever had, and one of the best men that ever lived - simple as a child and unselfish as few children are, brave and kind and true and loyal as any one of his own Icelandic heroes or medieval knights. My friendship began with him in '57 - think of that! - and was never broken or ruffled for a moment" (Lang, vol. VI, p. 116). Buxton Forman 28 ("750 copies printed").
