The Western Canon, graphically

Graphic artists, Huxley King and Terrence Boyce have converted their still-graphic representation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, into an animated graphic.

King and Boyce are among many other gifted artists who have contributed to two volumes of The Graphic Canon, edited by Russ Kick.

The Graphic Canon is just what the title says it is: a collection of classics of Western literature in the form of images.

As reviewer Annie Weatherwax says, so many of us readers have often imagined how a Captain Ahab, in the throes of his monomaniacal pursuit of the whale, or a Hester Prynne, parading in broad view of a judging public with the letter "A" emblazoned across her chest, would look.

Now, the artists of The Graphic Canon have given form to these imagined figures.
