Learning on ScreenLady of Shallot, The
- Synopsis
- In celebration of the 2009 bicentenary of the birth of Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) WAG Screen made this short, filmed dramatisation of the poem ‘The Lady of Shalott’. 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. The DVD also features the reading of the poem by Tennyson (played by Ben Poole) to an after dinner audience at Christmas 1856. The DVD includes: The Lady of Shalott dramatisation (14 minutes); Tennyson reading The Lady of Shalott (9 minutes); Conversation between actor Ben Poole (Tennyson) and Grace Timmins of the Tennyson Research Centre (16 minutes); Dante Ferrara - ‘La Donna di Shalott’, music video (4 minutes)
