Tennyson, The Lady of Shalott

This lecture looks at Tennyson's extraordinary poem The Lady of Shalott. It is, among other things, a meditation on the loss of meaning in the scientific age, a myth describing the need for the very virtues that the Victorian age's 'men without chests' ideology eviscerates.

I thought I was the only one who saw the connection between this poem and “Plato’s Cave”. Happy to learn that you saw it also.
