  • 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.

It's a fabulous resource for engaging them and helping them to understand some of the language. Really very grateful to the makers for taking the time and energy to produce something so lovely!

Personally I am just getting into the romantic poets, and I would love to see more reenactments like this one. Everything about this was so well conceived and executed. Videos this like this could bring poetry to such a large audience. Thank you to everyone who put so much hard work into this!!!

    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.

    OK so I have this picture. It used to be in a house I used to live in but the strange thing is that the room that the picture was in always made me feel uneasy and would commonly remind me of my mortality. But now I know what this picture truly is, it all makes sense it was not the room it was the picture itself.
