Art by William Russell Flint from “Darthur,” 1921.
This illustration by William Russell Flint (1880-1969) - one of the leading artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration) - was first published in "The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer" (1913) where it was associated with text from 'The Second Nun's Tale'. "The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer" (1913) - as published by The Medici Society Limited (London) - includes an adaptation of Chaucer's Middle English collection of stories dating from the 14th Century. The tales, whilst among a number of classic works from Chaucer, are considered his 'magnum opus'. As told by Chaucer, the work is identified as a frame tale - tales told within a tale - in this case, the tales are recounted as part of a story-telling contest conduced among pilgrims travelling together from Southwark to the Canterbury - for the purposes of undertaking a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Thomas Becket at the Cathedral. Set within the cultural context of his lifetime, the tales borrow from a popular 14th Century tradition - the 'English Pui' - wherein a group would gather to tell stories in competition and appoint a leader to judge the winner (the winner would be granted a crown and a free dinner). Through such mechanisms, Chaucer uses a range of folk - rather than characters from deliberately noble backgrounds - to provide an ironic and critical commentary on the contemporary society and church. Chaucer, himself, achieved considerable recognition during his own lifetime as an author, philosopher, alchemist and astronomer and he was an active civil servant being, at various times, a bureaucrat, courtier and diplomat. It is his works as a poet, however, that he is best known for in modern times and particular, as author of "The Canterbury Tales". William Russell Flint (1880-1969) was a Scottish painter who was formally trained in art at the Royal Institution School of Art in Edinburgh and served an apprenticeship at a printing works before moving to London at the age of 20.

Sir William Russell Flint, in his earlier days, used a classic art style to illustrate some of the great classics of literature. And how much more classic can you get than Homer? It amazes me how time and again, publishers put out editions of classic (but dry) lit, without any illustrations, and no imaginative layout or typography. Those elements help bring a book to life. I think students who wouldn't give Homer a chance, might, if the book was embellished somewhat like this one.
