The Lady of Shalott

"The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Lord Tennyson is a haunting and tragic ballad that explores the themes of isolation, art, and the longing for freedom. In this mesmerizing poem, Tennyson describes the Lady of Shalott, who is confined to a tower and weaves a tapestry depicting the outside world. She laments, "I am half-sick of shadows," expressing her yearning to experience life directly, showing the Lady's longing for a more vibrant existence beyond her self-imposed seclusion. Tennyson's evocative verses weave a tale of unfulfilled desire and the consequences of breaking free from societal constraints. Through his poignant words, he invites us to reflect on the price one pays for chasing after personal freedom and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of a more authentic life.

Why is it locked?
We employ a team of editors who ensure that our technology has properly converted each book into its new Literal format. We are also a scrappy young startup looking to make sure that we spend our resources wisely. This means that in some cases we only edit and publish small portions of a book to begin with. This lets us save on costs and helps focus our efforts on completing only the books that paying customers actually want to read.
