  • In celebration of the 2009 bicentenary of the birth of Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) WAG Screen and Crow's Eye Productions made a short, filmed dramatisation of his poem The Lady of Shalott to be shown at The Collection, Lincoln. Inspiration for the visual imagery came from the many Pre-Raphaelite paintings that the poem inspired, but most especially the paintings of the artist John William Waterhouse.

      Yes. I recognised Warlord and had to rewind to be sure of the face. No expert on horses but there can't be many white stallions trained to carry a Knight in full armour. At £10k it's an expensive costume, really glad to see it captured for posterity in an appropriate setting. Totally fits the mood of both the poem and the painting.

    Wow the overall production is amazing the details are are so precise. As a craftsman I love the detailing on the boat to coincide with the Waterhouse painting. The acting is superb particularly the Lady of Shalott herself, I love it when the questioning look comes over her face as she first hears Lancelot . The poem itself is of course a master class in how to write a dramatic story, we are never told why the Lady is in the tower or how the curse came to be associated with her, this all helps to add tension to the drama. A beautiful production full marks to all involved.

    Great job! Beautiful movie. I love narrative verse, and Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" is one of the greatest narrative poems ever told along with Poe's "The Raven," Kipling's "Gunga Din," Service's "The Cremation of Sam McGee," Auden's "Victor," Noys' "The Highway Man," Robinson's "Richard Cory," D'Arcy's "The Face Upon the Floor," Longfellow's "The Skeleton in Armor," and Thayer's "Casey at the Bat."

    I first learned about Alfred Lord Tennyson while playing a game called Authors I was about 8 years old. Later as a teen I looked toward Tennyson for an English assignment. And choose The Lady of Shalott. My grammer was bad so my grade reflected that however I gained deeper love for poetry at the time.

But now I know what this picture truly is, it all makes sense it was not the room it was the picture itself.
