Although "The Decameron" and "The Canterbury Tales" have often been linked this study examines them beyond shared general similarities and looks at the search for individual analogue or source material which has proved so inconclusive. It examines the texts and their internal dynamics primarily as a whole and reveals many surprising similarities which have hitherto remained unnoticed. The two collections are examined in the light of their literary diversity their shape as a form of quodlibet debate their discussion of literature and its autonomy using the oppositions of utile diletto "sentence" and "solaas" and the specific way that individual narratives are treated so as to create a labyrinthine web for the reader to both negotiate and enjoy.

Ashbee established the Guild of Handicraft at Essex House London. Around the same time Ashbee created the Essex House Press. The Essex House Press published its first book in 1898. The work of the press was very much a part of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Ashbee continually linked the aims of the press with those of John Ruskin and William Morris and described the object of the movement as “making useful things…making them well and…making them beautiful.†The critics however were not so sure about the work of Essex House Press calling it “articraftiness.†Later booklovers came to admire much of its work. Some of the presses and some of the workmen for Essex House Press came from the Kelmscott Press after its demise in 1897 following the death of William Morris. Ashbee designed his own typeface called “Endeavor†for the press. In 1902 the press moved to Glouscestershire. The Essex House Press closed in 1910 having produced more than seventy titles."
