Gorgeous interpretation of this famous poem. Wish I could have read this version in college. ;)

some of the lines in this are gorgeous - e.g. 'a bow shot from her bower-eaves, he rode between the barley-sheaves' - like?? literally beautiful
interesting to read as mentioned by catherine mccormack in 'women in the picture' (which I'm currently reading, and is amazing) in its painted format by waterhouse - she says that it is an example of how 'historically speaking, women have not been allowed to look; held back from studying and entry to the professional sphere, they were not allowed to look at books or the world - more specifically, they were not allowed to look at the world of men.'
mccormack says that this story (the lady of shalott) is 'about the perils that afflict women who look' - was super interesting to read the poem with this (accurate) perspective in mind

I am half sick of shadows," said The Lady of Shalott. Oh my goodness I loved this so much! I haven't read much poetry, but this was stunning. I want to reread it right now. And maybe daily until I've memorized it...Absolutely lovely.

Five stars, since I've never been good at reading poetry, but I loved this. I've heard snippets of this ever since I was young in "Anne of Green Gables" but never took the time to read it myself. And now I have. yay.
