“Wash day at la Pitchoune”, 1973
Lady of Shalott in art
Modern critics consider “The Lady of Shalott” to be representative of the dilemma that faces artists, writers, and musicians: to create work about and celebrate the world, or to enjoy the world by simply living in it. Feminist critics see the poem as concerned with issues of women’s sexuality and their place in the Victorian world.
