UR EN KUNGS IDYLL : En ord- och bildstudie av Alfred Tennysons diktsamling, illustrerad av Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale

The 19th century's Victorian England revived interest in medieval traditions and myths, including King Arthur and the knights of the round table. British artist Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale painted a set of watercolor illustrations that were published in an edition of Idylls of the King, A collection of poems about the legend of King Arthur, written by Lord Alfred Tennyson. Focusing on a special edition from 1913, this essay aims to explore the intermedial relationship between word and image through a comparative study of Brickdale's illustrations and Tennyson's poem. With questions centering around the rise of book illustration, the relationship between the two mediums and how these aspects affect the viewers reception. The material for analysis includes five of Brickdale's illustrations from the "Elaine-idyll” of Tennyson's collection, as well as other artists interpretations andillustrations for comparison.
