Down she came and found a boat About the Film2009 is the bicentenary of the birth, in Lincolnshire, of Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892), Poet Laureate. As part of the international bicentenary celebrations, WAG Screen has made a short, filmed dramatisation of his poem The Lady of Shalott.
A reading of the poem forms the backbone of the dramatisation whose pace it dictates. Inspiration for the visual imagery comes from the many Pre-Raphaelite paintings that the poem inspired, but most especially the paintings of the artist John William Waterhouse.
The majority of the filming was done in and around Lincoln.
![]() Above: Ben Poole as Tennyson. Picture By: John Bennett We have booked the exhibition space at Lincoln's Central Library for a Tennyson and Lady of Shalott Film related exhibition. We have also made a short documentary with Grace Timmins of the Tennyson Research Centre to show at this venue. The Tennyson Resource Centre is housed at the Central Library. Second year undergraduates of Heritage Studies at Bishop Grossesteste University College will manage the exhibition. The Lady of Shalott Film will premiere at the Odeon Cinema, Lincoln on Friday 15th May 2009.
