- Authors
LEVINE, NAOMI
- Abstract
A criticism of the poem “The Lady of Shalott," by Lord Alfred Tennyson, is presented, focusing particularly on issues of the poem's sources. It refers to the 13th-century collection of Italian tales "Cento novelle antiche" (One hundred ancient tales), and it's 1825 translation "The Italian Novelists," by Thomas Roscoe, containing a Romance novella of a lady of Scalot and Arthurian hero Lancelot. An essay on Italian poet Boccaccio by Italian critic Ugo Foscolo is considered.
